• Use focus lock with “ Spot” focus.
1. Align the monitor
screen’s focus frame
with the subject you
want to focus on and
then half-press the
shutter button.
2. Keeping the shutter
button half-pressed,
re-compose the
image as you like.
3. When the image is focused, press the shutter
button the rest of the way to shoot.
