This Focus Lock feature allows you to focus on a subject that is not in the center of the picture, or to capture action shots more quickly by prefocusing in the area where the action will occur. 3 Press the Shutter button all the way down to take the picture. The image appears for several seconds on the Image Display for instant review. During this time, the image is saved to memory, unless you choose to delete it by pressing the OK button.
