Basic Steps for Shooting and Playback

1 Press the shutter-release button halfway, i.e., press the button slightly until you feel resistance.

• When you press the shutter-release button halfway, the camera sets the focus and exposure (shutter speed and aperture value). Focus and

exposure remain locked while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.

•When a face is detected, it is framed by the

double border indicating the active focus area. When the subject is in focus, the double border turns green.

•If no face is detected and Gor iis displayed as the shooting mode icon, the camera automatically selects one (or more) of the nine focus areas containing the subject closest to the camera. When the subject is in focus, the focus area that is selected glows

green (up to nine areas). If a shooting mode icon other than those above is displayed, the

camera focuses on the subject at the center of the frame (A6).

•When digital zoom is used, the focus area is not displayed and the camera focuses at the center of the frame. Once focus has been acquired, the focus indicator (A6) will glow green.

•If the focus area or the focus indicator blinks red when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the camera is unable to focus. Modify the composition and press the shutter-release button halfway again.

2Press the shutter-release button all the way, i.e., press the button the rest of the way down.

• The shutter is released and the picture will be recorded to the memory card or internal memory.

•If you press the shutter-release button with too much

force, the camera may shake, causing pictures to be blurred. Press the button gently.
