■Using Quick Shutter

Pressing the shutter button all the way down without waiting at the halfway point shoots the image using Quick Shutter (page 118). Quick Shutter lets you record right away, so you don’t miss those special moments waiting for Auto Focus.

•Quick Shutter focuses much quicker than normal Auto Focus. It comes in handy when shooting a fast-moving subject. It also eliminates worries of spoiled shots when you ask someone else to record and image for you, and they press the shutter button all the way without waiting for Auto Focus.

•Quick Shutter is turned on as the initial factory default setting. In cases when you want to take a little time for accurate focus, turn off Quick Shutter.

Specifying Image Size

A digital camera image is a collection of small dots (pixels). The size of an image indicates how many pixels it contains, and is expressed as horizontal pixels × vertical pixels. The initial factory default image size setting is 7M (3072 × 2304 pixels). Note that a larger image takes up more memory.

•For information about image size, image quality, and number of images that can be stored, see page 284.

This setting applies to snapshots only.

•For information about movie image size, see page 89.
