There are several ways to focus, depending on the subject.
When the subject is not in the center of the frame
• Place the subject in the center of the frame, lock the focus on the subject, and
then recompose your picture.
The subject is moving quickly
• Focus the camera on a point roughly the same distance away as the subject
you want to shoot (by pressing the shutter button halfway), and then
recompose your picture and wait for the subject to enter the frame.
• Under certain types of conditions, it is difficult to focus using auto focus. The
green lamp on the monitor lights, allowing you to check if the focus is locked.
In these cases, focus (focus lock) on an object with high contrast at the same
distance as the intended subject, recompose your shot and then take the
picture. If the subject has no vertical lines, hold the camera vertically and
focus the camera using the focus lock function by pressing the shutter button
halfway, and then return the camera to the horizontal position while keeping
the button pressed halfway and take the picture.
