Focus and Shutter Release

The camera features a two-stage shutter-release button. First, lightly press the shutter-release button about halfway, stopping when you feel resistance. Once the camera has focused, press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down to release the shutter and take a picture.

Camera Operations

1 Focus: Press the shutter-release button halfway. If the camera is able to focus on the subject in the focus area at the center of the frame, the focus (AF●) indicator and focus area will be displayed in green. If they blink red, the camera was unable to focus. Change the composition and try again.
