Changing Shooting Settings Focus Focus Lock Focus lock can be used to change the composition after focusing, making it possible to focus on a subject that will not be in the one of three focus points in the final composition. Selecting P (single point) or O (dynamic area) for AF-area mode (A 58) is recommended when using focus lock. 1 Position the subject in the selected focus point and press the shutter-release button halfway to initiate focus. Check that the in-focus indicator (A) appears in the viewfinder. Focus will lock automatically when the infocus indicator appears, and remain locked while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. Focus point can be selected (A 59). 2 Recompose the frame while focus remains locked. Press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down to shoot. When using focus lock, be sure that the distance between the camera and the subject on which focus was locked does not change. Focus Lock using H Focus can also be locked by pressing H instead of holding the shutter-release button down halfway. Focus will lock when H is pressed while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. Focus will remain locked while H is held down, even if you later remove your finger from the shutter-release button. B Focus Lock The shutter-release button cannot be used to lock focus in j mode (A 37), b (continuous) release mode (A 54), or continuous-servo autofocus (A 57), or when continuous-servo autofocus is selected in auto-servo AF (A 57). Use H to lock focus. D Shooting While Focus Remains Locked When focus is locked by pressing the shutter-release button halfway, release the shutter-release button only halfway after the shutter is released and press fully again to take the next picture. Focus will remain locked between shots. When focus is locked by pressing H, hold H down and press the shutter-release button all the way down for each shot. F 12 - AE-L/AF-L (A 113) 60 This option controls the behavior of H.
