Tapping the Monitor to Release the Shutter (Touch Shutter)

BNotes on Touch Shutter

•When taking pictures with Continuous or BSS in Continuous setting (A 53) enabled, or in Sports or Museum scene mode (A 59), use the shutter-release button to take pictures. Only one picture can be taken at a time using the touch shutter function.

•Prevent shooting with accidental tapping of the monitor in A (auto) mode and some scene modes by changing the touch shooting setting to Touch AF/AE (A 37). At this setting, the shutter is not released when the monitor is tapped.

•In some rare cases, shooting subjects with which autofocus may not perform as expected, the subject may not be in focus (A 31).

•When a subject displayed in the monitor is tapped with the self-timer (A 44) enabled, the camera locks focus and releases the shutter after ten or two seconds.
