Ricoh AF-60 - Pre-Focus Shooting Technique

PRE-FOCUS SHOOTING
Shoot with
pre-focus (1) when the subject cannot be set
within the Auto-Focus Frame with your desired composition,
or (2) when the subject is difficult to focus on.
1. When the
subject is outside the Auto-Focus Frame.
A. If you want to photograph two people, there may be
cases where neither of them can be set within the
Auto-Focus Frame in the
center of the Viewfinder. If
the shutter is released
under this condition, only the
background will be in focus and the people, who are
the main subject, will be
out-of-focus . (Fig. 20)
B. Move the camera so that one of the people is within the
Auto-Focus Frame. Press the Shutter Release Button
halfway so that the AF Monitor lights
up and hold your
finger in that position on the Shutter Release Button.
(Fig. 21)
C. Return the camera to its former position, while holding
the Shutter Release Button halfway down, so that both
people are in the Field of View. Frame again, then
press the Shutter Release Button
fully to take the
picture. (Fig. 22)
