Lock Exposure
When you compose a photograph, you have a center of interest. This is the
point of the photograph to which you want to draw the viewer??™s attention.
Inexperienced photographers have a bad habit of placing the subject in the
center of a scene, which can often lead to a boring photograph. Experienced
photographers often compose a picture where the center of interest is offcenter.
If you compose pictures where your main subject is not centered in the
viewfinder, you??™ll have to lock focus and exposure on the off-center subject
using the auto-focus point, and then compose the picture. Most cameras
provide a method for locking exposure to the auto-focus point.
Shoot an Off-Center Subject
1. Position the camera so that the subject is in the center of the viewfinder.
2. Push the shutter button halfway to lock focus and exposure. Note that some cameras
require that you press a button to lock exposure on an off-center subject. Refer to your
camera manual for more details.
3. Continue to hold the shutter button halfway and compose the scene.
4. Press the shutter button fully to record the image.
