2 Tips before you start taking pictures Tips before you start taking pictures Your pictures are almost guaranteed to come out well just by pressing the shutter button in shooting mode. But occasionally, you can’t focus on your subject, the subject is too dark, or the picture doesn’t come out the way you want. Just knowing which button to press or which setting to change can help you solve these problems.
If the correct focus cannot be obtained When the subject you want to focus on is not in the center of the frame and you cannot position the AF target mark on it, you can focus the camera on another point at roughly the same distance (focus lock) and take the picture as explained below.
