80 Shooting - Selecting Particular Effects
Shooting Problem Subjects for the Autofocus
The autofocus may not work well on the following types of subject.
- Subjects with extremely low contrast to the surroundings
- Subjects mixing close and far objects
- Subjects with extremely bright objects at the center of the composition
- Subjects that are moving quickly
To shoot these subjects, first aim the camera at an object at a similar distance, lock the
focus and recompose the image with the desired subject, or use the manual focus.
• When shooting through glass, approach as close as possible to avoid reflections off
the glass.
Shooting with Focus Lock
Focus Lock Method 1
1
Aim the center of the viewfinder (or the selected AF frame in
the LCD monitor if it is on) at an object at a similar distance to
the subject you wish to shoot.
2
Press the shutter button halfway to lock the focus.
The AE setting will also lock when you do this. The exposure may
occasionally be incorrect if the difference between the target subject and
the subject of the focus lock is too great. In that case, shoot with Method 2
below or use the AE lock to shoot.
3
Keep it pressed while you recompose and press the shutter
button all the way to shoot the image.
Focus Lock Method 2
1
Press the button to turn on the LCD monitor.
2
Aim the center of the LCD monitor (or the selected AF frame) at
an object at a similar distance to the subject you wish to shoot.
3
Press the shutter button halfway to lock the focus. Keep it
pressed and press the MF button.
The icon will appear in the display panel and the icon in the LCD monitor.
The focus setting will lock even if the shutter button and MF button are released.
Pressing the MF button a second time cancels the focus lock.
