.Using Quick Shutter

Fully pressing the shutting button without waiting for Auto Focus to operate will record using Quick Shutter (page 93).

With Quick Shutter, the camera focuses faster than normal Auto Focus, which means you can capture quick moving action more easily. Note, however, that some images may be out of focus when Quick Shutter is used.

Whenever possible, take a little extra time to half-press the shutter button in order to ensure proper focus.

.If the image does not focus...

If the focus frame stays red and the back lamp is flashing green, it means that the image is not in focus (because the subject is too close, etc.) Point the camera at the subject and try to focus again.

.If the subject is not in the center of the frame...

“Focus lock” (page 85) is a technique you can use when you want to shoot an image in which the subject to be focused on is not within the focus frame in the center of the screen.
