Shutter Button
To ensure your shots are in focus, always press the shutter button lightly (halfway) initially. Once the subject is in focus, press the button all the way down to shoot.
In this manual, shutter button operations are described as pressing the button halfway or all the way down.
1Press halfway. (Press lightly to
focus.)
zzPress the shutter button halfway. The camera beeps twice, and AF frames are displayed around image areas in focus.
2Press all the way down. (From
the halfway position, press fully to shoot.)
XXThe camera shoots, as a shutter sound is played.
zzKeep the camera still until the shutter sound ends.
•Images may be out of focus if you shoot without initially pressing
the shutter button halfway.
•Length of shutter sound playback varies depending on the time required for the shot. It may take longer in some shooting scenes, and images will be blurry if you move the camera (or the subject moves) before the shutter sound ends.
