Focus lock prevents the AF system from focusing. This can be used with off-center subjects or when
a special focusing situation prevents the camera from focusing (p. 27).
When using single-shot AF with Area AF in the multi-function
recording mode, place the subject in 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.
Without lifting your finger from the shutter-release button, recom-
pose the subject within the image area. Press the shutter-release
button all the way down to take the picture.
The focus signal in the lower right corner of the LCD monitor and
the green focus lamp next to the viewfinder indicate the focus sta-
tus.

Cannot focus. The subject is too close or a special sit-
uation is preventing the AF system from focusing.
When using focus area selection, place the active focus area on
the subject. Press and hold the shutter-release button partway
down; the active focus area will turn red and the other areas will
disappear. The focus signal should turn white to indicate the focus
is locked.
