Taking Pictures (Cont’d)
Shooting with Focus Lock
- If the subject you wish to focus on is not in the center of the screen, use the
focus lock .
1. Align the auto focus mark on the sub-
ject, and push the shutter button half-
way. The green LED light will come on,
locking the focus position.
• The exposure is fixed at the same time the
focus is locked.
• If you release your finger from the half-
pushed shutter button, the focus lock will
be released and you can repeat the proce-
dure.
2. With the shutter button pressed half-
way, re-compose your photo and
press the shutter button all the way to
take the picture.
• When re-composing the photo, do not
change the shooting distance. If the dis-
tance has changed, repeat the procedure.
The following subjects may be difficult to bring into focus:
• Subjects with no contrast (variance in brightness, e.g., the sky, a
white wall, the hood of a car)
• Subjects with only horizontal lines and no surface texture
• Quickly moving subjects
• Poorly lit subjects (in a dark place)
• Subjects with a strong light or reflected light behind them
• Subjects in a flickering light, such as a fluorescent light
