Press the shutter-release button partway down (1) to lock
the focus and exposure.
The monitor focus signal and viewfinder indicator lamp
glows when the focus is locked; the flash signal appears if
the flash is going to fire. If the focus signal and indicator
lamp blink, the camera could not focus, repeat the
procedure.
Place the subject within the AF area.
The focus-lock function (p. 25) can be used with off-center
subjects. If the subject is closer than 1m (3ft.) at the zoom
lens’ wide-angle position or 3m (10ft) at the telephoto
position, only use the LCD monitor to frame the subject.
