Even if it is difficult to focus in AF shooting

because the subject is not in the center of the

frame, you can focus in this situation using

Center AF. For example, when you are

shooting two subjects, and there is a gap

between them, the camera may focus on the

background visible in the gap. In a case like

this, use AF lock to ensure the subjects are in

correct focus.

Compose the shot so that the subject is

centered in the AF range finder, and press the

shutter button halfway down.

When the AE/AF lock indicator stops flashing

and remains on, return to the fully composed

shot, and press the shutter button fully down.

• When you are using AF lock, you can

capture an image with the correct focus even

if the subject is at the edge of the frame.

• You can carry out the AF lock adjustment

process before you press the shutter button

fully down.

Setting the distance

to the subject

– Focus preset

Mode selector: /

When shooting an image using a previously

set distance to the subject, or when shooting

a subject through a net or through window

glass, it is difficult to get the proper focus in

auto focus mode. In these cases, use of the

Focus preset is convenient.

Before operation

When shooting still images, set

(Camera) to any mode other than [Auto] in

the menu settings (page 27).
