Focus Lock

After achieving focus, you can lock the focus on a subject and

recompose the shot. This is called “focus lock."

Set the camera to a Creative

Zone mode.

• Set a Creative Zone mode except

<A-DEP>.

Select the desired AF point.

Focus the subject.

• Aim the AF point on the subject,

then press the shutter button

halfway.

Keep pressing the shutter

button haifway and recompose

the picture as desired.

Take the picture.

’ If focus has not been achieved, the focus confirmation light < A>

hi the viewfinder will blink. In this case, you cannot take a picture

even when you press the shutter button fully. Recompose the shot

and focus again or see “When Airtofocus Fails" (p.30).

' If you use an external, EOS-dedicated Speedlite and focus cannot

be achieved with the AF-assist light, seM the center AF point.

' Focus lock also works in the Basic Zone modes (except <%,>).

Just start from step 3 above.
