Using the Focus Lock
The following types of subject may not be suited
to autofocus photography. Use the focus lock in
these situations.
• Subjects with extremely low contrast to the
surroundings
• Subjects with extremely bright objects at the
center of the composition
• Subjects that are moving quickly
• Subjects through glass
Try to shoot as close to the glass as possible
to reduce the chances of light reflecting back
off the glass.

or in the AF frame displayed on the
LCD monitor.
2
Press and hold the shutter button
halfway, and wait until the camera
beeps twice.

Re-aim the camera direction to
compose the shot as desired and
press the shutter button all the way.
