Trap Focus Shooting

The Yashica 230-AF features a trap focus system which allows the shutter to trip as soon as the subject comes to the distance at

which the lens has been focused beforehand. If you use this technique, you can take photographs of nervous animals that are

usually difficult to shoot. You need only wait for the subject to arrive in the scene with the fixed focus. Moving objects can also be

shot at your desired distance and in the composition you like even in your absence.
