camera from focusing (p.27). This function is controlled with the shutter-release button and can be
used with focus area selection and single-shot AF (p. 64).

shutter-release button partway down.
• The focus active focus area will turn red and the other four
areas will disappear. The focus signal should turn white to
indicate the the focus is locked.

the focus frames and press the shutter-release button
partway down. The focus frames will disappear and a red AF
sensor will indicate the point of focus.

ter-release button all the way down to take the picture.
