Using the focus lock
This camera automatically focuses on
whatever is within the Auto Focus (AF)
brackets of the viewfinder eyepiece. To
get a sharp picture, make sure the AF
brackets are on your main subject. If you
want to take a picture with the subject
positioned outside the AF brackets, use
the focus lock as follows:
1. Place the AF circle on the subject that
you want focused in the picture.

2. Partially depress and hold the shutter
button (1) to lock the focus position
and wait for the flash/camera-ready
lamp (13) to turn green.

3. While still partially depressing the
shutter button, move the camera until
your subject is where you want
it within the viewfinder eyepiece (12).

4. Fully press down the shutter button to
take the picture.
Tips for better pictures
• Move close enough to your subject so
it fills the viewfinder but not closer
than 2 ft (0.6 m).
• Take pictures at the subject's level.
Kneel down to take pictures of
children and pets.
• Hold your camera vertically to capture
tall, narrow subjects, such as
a waterfall, skyscraper, or a single
person.
