Easy shooting with P-AUTO (Program Auto) mode
Recomposing the shot after locking the focus (Focus Lock)
When the subject you want to focus on is out of the AF target mark (not in the center of the
monitor), lock the focus and take the picture as explained below. This is called Focus Lock.
1
Position the AF target mark on the subject you want to focus on.
2
Press the shutter button halfway.
3
Recompose your shot while keeping the shutter button pressed
halfway.
4
Press the shutter button all the way to take a picture.
Tip
When shooting a hard-to-focus subject, point the camera at an object about the same distance away as
the subject.
Tips
• The green indicator lights up when the focus and exposure are locked.
• When the green indicator blinks, the focus is not locked. Release your finger from the shutter
button, re-position your subject, and press the shutter button halfway again.
