Shooting Hard-to-Focus Subjects (Focus Lock) Shooting Mode It may be difficult to focus on the following types of subjects. z Subjects with extremely low contrast to the surroundings z Scenes with a mixture of near and far subjects z Subjects with extremely bright objects at the center of the composition z Subjects that are moving quickly z Subjects through glass: Try to shoot as close to the glass as possible to reduce the chances of light reflecting back off the glass. 1 Aim the camera so that an object at the same focal distance as the main subject is centered in the viewfinder or in the AF frame displayed on the LCD monitor. 2 Press the shutter button halfway to lock the focus. 3 Keep the shutter button pressed halfway while you recompose the image and press the shutter button all the way to shoot the image. z When the focus lock is set and the LCD monitor is used to shoot, setting AiAF to [Off] (p. 35) makes shooting easier since the camera focuses using the center AF frame only. z The AF frame will not appear in mode. 36
