Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips

If there is not enough contrast or light in the focus region, try

using Focus Lock (see the next section, Using Focus Lock),

or simply turn on more light, if that is possible.

Using Focus Lock

Focus Lock allows you to focus on a subject that is not in the

center of the picture, or to capture action shots more quickly

by pre-focusing in the area where the action will occur. You

can also use Focus Lock to help achieve focus in low light or

low contrast situations.
1. Frame the subject for your picture

within the focus brackets.

2. Press the Shutter button

halfway down to lock the

focus and exposure.

3. Continue to hold the Shutter

button halfway down while you

re-frame or adjust your subject

for proper positioning.

4. Press the Shutter button all the

way down to take the picture.
