I didn’t like your samples with the model. In some of the images, you cropped off her feet and the one of her sitting she was too much in the shadow.
If you turn your camera on the buildings and then half press the button you will fix exposure and focus and then recompose to the model and she will be out of focus, am I wrong.
Hi Robert, I’ve checked the manual for this camera and here is the link to the manual

On page 97 you will find the instructions on how to lock the focus and the exposure separately, I suspect that what has happened is that I did not describe this procedure accurately in the video and my apologies for this mistake. From the information in the manual it would appear that there would have been one extra button pressed on the back of the camera to lock the exposure but not the focus. It may be that this was edited out of the footage by mistake in the final video. I hope this information is useful to you and will allow you to operate the focus and exposure separately. Kind regards Karl.
