Shutter Button

When the camera is ready to take a shot, the upper indicator lamp will shine green (no flash) or red (flash) and two beeps will sound.

When the LCD panel is turned on, the image will freeze for an instant.

In the Flash Off mode, the upper indicator will flash red when there is insufficient light for the exposure setting. This is a warning that hand tremors or camera movement will blur the image.

In the Macro mode, the lower indicator will shine orange.

In the Exposure Compensation mode, the image of the photographic subject will appear in the LCD panel after the second beep.
