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 mode.
1. Align the auto focus mark on the subject,
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 procedure.
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 distance 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
In the above circumstances, take your picture after the focus lock is set to
the same distance and brightness as the subject.
