Using the auto-focus framing marks (pictures)
When using the camera screen or EVF as a viewfinder, framing marks indicate the camera focus area. The camera attempts to focus on foreground subjects, even if the subjects are not centered in the scene.

Press the Shutter button halfway.
When the framing marks turn green, focus is accomplished.
While the shutter button is pressed halfway:

If the camera is not focusing on the desired subject (or if the framing marks disappear), release the Shutter button and recompose the scene.

Press the Shutter button completely down to take the picture.
