Basic Operations of the Shutter-Release Button
The camera features a two-stage shutter-release button. To set focus and
exposure, press the shutter-release button halfway, stopping when you feel
resistance. Focus and exposure lock while the shutter-release button is held in this
position. To release the shutter and take a picture, press the shutter-release button
the rest of the way down. Do not use force when pressing the shutter-release
button, as this may result in camera shake and blurred pictures.
