Shooting with Focus Lock
It may be difficult to focus on the following types of subjects. Use the focus lock in these situations.
- Subjects with extremely low contrast to the surroundings
- Subjects with extremely bright objects at the center of the composition
- Subjects that are moving quickly
- Subjects through glass : Try to shoot as close to the glass as possible to reduce the chances of light reflecting back off the glass.
Focus Lock
- Aim the camera so that an object at the same focal distance as the main subject is centered in the AF frame on the LCD monitor.
- Press the shutter button halfway and wait until two beeps sound. Continue pressing the shutter button halfway.
- Re-aim the camera to compose the shot as desired and press the shutter button all the way.
- The AE setting will also lock when you do this. The exposure may occasionally be incorrect if the difference between the two items is too great. Use Method 2 when this happens.
