When shooting with the subject at the edge of the 
frame, or when using Center 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.

You can manually adjust the exposure 
determined by the camera. Use this mode 
when the proper exposure cannot be 
obtained, for example, when the contrast 
(difference between light and dark) 
between the subject and the background is 
extremely large.
The compensation value can be set in 
1/3EV steps in the range from +2.0EV to 
−2.0EV.
