Using Focus Lock
Normally, Auto Focus automatically focuses on whatever is
inside the focus frame. Focus lock is a technique you can
use in the Spot AF ( ), Infinity ( ), and Macro ( ) modes
to lock the focus on a subject and then move the camera so
the focus frame is pointed at another subject when you
record. This keeps the original subject in focus, even though
a different subject is within the focus frame.
1. While watching the image on the monitor
screen, press the shutter release button about
half way.
• The focus frame turns green when the image is in fo-
cus.
2. While keeping the shutter release button de-
pressed half way, move the camera and com-
pose the image as you want.
3. Press the shutter release button the rest of the
way down to record the image.
NOTE
• Locking the focus also locks the exposure setting.
