Taking pictures with the focus
and exposure locked
In the above composition, the subjects (two people in this
case) are not in the AF frame. Pressing the shutter button
halfway at this point will result in the subjects being out of
focus.
AF/AE lock is useful:
Use AF/AE lock to guarantee best result when shooting a
subject that is not suited to autofocusing (p.30).
1 Move the camera slightly so that one of the
subjects is in the AF frame.
2 Press the shutter button down halfway to
focus on the subject.

AF/AE lock can be applied repeatedly before the shutter
is released.
Use AF/AE lock in all Shooting modes to guarantee
excellent results.

the shutter button down halfway locks the focus and
exposure settings (AF and AE lock).
Subjects not suitable for autofocus
FinePix F480 / FinePix F485 / FinePix J50 uses a high-
precision autofocusing mechanism. However, it may have
difficulty focusing on the following:
Subjects photographed through glass
Subjects that do not reflect well, such as hair or fur
Subjects with no substance, such as smoke or flames
Dark subjects
Subjects with little or no contrast between the subject and
the background (such as subjects dressed in the same color
as the background)
Shots where another high-contrast object (not the subject) is
close to the AF frame and is either closer or further away
than your subject (such as a shot of someone against a
background with strongly contrasting elements)
For such subjects use AF/AE lock (p.29).
