When the Subject is not

Centered on Your Com-

position (Focus Lock)

When the subject of your composition is not

centered, you can compose your picture after

setting the focus and then shoot. This

method is called "Focus-Lock."

Example: Taking a photograph of the castle

in the background with the camera focused

on a person in front.

1. Turn the mode dial to 5

55

5 (Shoot-

ing Mode) or A/M (Aperture Pri-

ority/Manual Exposure Mode).

2. Put the subject of your photo

right in the center of the LCD

Monitor or the Viewfinder and

press the shutter button half-

way.

The f-stop (aperture size) and shutter

speed are displayed in the bottom part of

the screen, and the camera focuses.

Once the shot is in focus, the exposure

and white balance are fixed and the

crosshair in the center of the LCD Moni-

tor turns green, as does the auto-focus

lamp in the lower left of the Viewfinder.

Check one of these to make sure the

subject is in focus.

3. With the shutter half-pressed,

compose your shot.

4. Gently press the shutter button

all the way.

• At macro shooting, the AF target shift func-

tion allows you to lock the focus without

moving the camera.

• This function is useful when a tripod is

used.

P.48.
