Sony MVC-CD500 User Manual

When shooting with the subject at the edge of 
the frame, the camera may focus on the center 
instead of on the subject at the edge of the 
frame. In a case like this, use AF lock to focus 
on the subject, and then recompose the picture 
and shoot (except in Continuous AF mode).

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.

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.
