pressing the

button.

2.

Compose your image with your main subject in the center of the

 

focus frame.

 

3.

Press the shutter button down halfway to focus the image.

 

When you press the shutter button down half way, the

 

ViviCam 8400’s Auto Focus feature automatically focuses the

 

image. Proper exposure is determined and locked at the same time.

 

With the shutter button held, you can reframe your image

 

and the main subject will still be correctly exposed and in focus.

4.

Press the shutter button the rest of the way down to capture the image.
