Shooting techniques
When shooting with the subject at the edge of 
the frame, or when using Center AF or Spot AF, 
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.
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
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) in the menu to other than [Auto] 
(pages 53 and 120).
