Something you might want to try.

1. Set your camera to center point focus, see page 128.

2. The OK button can be set in one of four different ways that might help you, see page 126, 129. You can use the OK button to energize the autofocus on a specific point of the subject. When you press the shutter release button the focus will not change. You can also set the OK button to lock the focus, in this mode the shutter release button acts normally. When the OK button is pressed and held the autofocus is turned off. When you release the button autofocus will act as normal.
Either one of these two modes might help you. It will allow you to focus on a central point, and then reframe and take your shot.
Otherwise the camera will continuously focus on what ever it can lockon to.

I also recommend that you use center point metering page 136.
This will help you get the best exposure regardless of the background.

I hope this helps.
