Step 3 Focus and Shoot

1Press the shutter-release button halfway.

The camera will automatically select the focus point containing the main subject closest to the camera and focus on this subject.

When the focus operation is complete, a beep will sound, and the in- focus indicator (A) will appear in the viewfinder. The selected focus point will be highlighted in red in the viewfinder.

If the in-focus indicator (A) in the viewfinder display blinks, the subject is not in focus. Recompose the shot and press the shutter- release button halfway to try focusing again.

When shooting the subject with which autofocus does not perform well (A 38), the camera may be unable to focus on the subject using

autofocus. The number of exposures that can be recorded in the memory buffer (A 55) is shown in the viewfinder display while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. “r” is displayed in front of the number.

If the subject is dark, the AF-assist illuminator may light to assist the focus operation and the flash may pop up.

2Smoothly press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down to release the shutter and record the photograph.

The memory card access lamp will light.

Photographs will be played back in the monitor for a few seconds after they are taken.

Press the shutter-release button halfway to immediately enable shooting, even when playing photographs back.
