58 Shooting Locking the Focus (AF Lock) It may be difficult to focus on the following types of subjects. 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. Shooting with the Focus Lock Method 1 1. Aim the camera so that an object at the same focal distance as the main subject is centered in the AF frame in the viewfinder or LCD monitor. 2. Press the shutter button halfway and wait until two beeps sound. 3. Re-aim the camera to compose the shot as desired and press the shutter button all the way. Method 2 • Turn the LCD monitor on. • Aim the camera so that an object at the same focal distance as the main subject is centered in the AF frame. • Press and hold the shutter button halfway until two beeps sound. Without releasing your finger, press the / button. • The icon will display and the lower indicator will light yellow.
