Focus Lock

Focus lock can be used in combination with autofocus to focus on a subject that is

not in any of the five focus areas, or on other occasions when the camera would not

otherwise be able to focus using autofocus (

pg. 80).

Focus lock differs depending on whether you are using single- or continuous-servo

AF. Follow the steps below.

Position the subject in the selected focus area (A) and press the shutter-release

button halfway (B).

ADVANCED PHOTOGRAPHY—FOCUS LOCK

Lock focus when the in-focus indicator (●) appears in the viewfinder.

• In single-servo autofocus:

Once the in-focus indicator has appeared in the

viewfinder, focus will lock when the shutter-re-

lease button is pressed halfway, and remain locked

while the button is held in this position. Focus

can also be locked by pressing the AE-L/AF-L but-

ton (see below).

• In continuous-servo autofocus:

After the in-focus indicator appears in the

viewfinder, press the AE-L/AF-L button to lock both

focus and exposure. Focus will remain locked while

the AE-L/AF-L button is pressed, even if you re-

move your finger from the shutter-release button.
