FOCUS LOCK

The focus-lock function is used when you want to compose the image with the subject
off-center and outside the AF area. Focus lock may also be used when a special situation
prevents the camera from focusing on the subject (p. 26). This function is controlled with
the shutter-release button.

Place the subject within the AF area. Press and hold the
shutter-release button partway down and wait until the
focus signal appears and viewfinder indicator lamp glows to
indicate focus is locked. If the signal and lamp blink, repeat
the procedure.

Without lifting your finger from the shutter-release button,
recompose the subject within the image area. Press the
shutter-release button all the way down to take the picture.
