<Focus Lock>
If the subject you want to focus is not in the
focusing frame when shooting in the auto-focus
mode, use the focus lock.
m When Using “SAF” (Single Auto Focus)
Mode:
Aim the focusing frame at the subject you
wish to focus on and depress the shutter
release halfway.
As focusing is performed automatically, the
focusing mark will light in the viewfinder at that
point of the distance scale indicating the distance
at which focus is locked.
While holding the shutter release
depressed halfway, move the camera to
compose the photograph as desired. Focus
will remain locked at the originally set
distance. Depress the shutter release fully to
take the picture.
@ Because the focus remains locked as long as
the shutter release is depressed halfway, your
subject is in sharp focus even if you move the
camera.
e The focus lock is released if you move your
finger from the shutter release.
