Shutter speed Aperture

When digital zoom is in effect and the camera is focused on the center of the screen, the focus indicator (A 6) glows green. The active focus area is not displayed.

When you press the shutter-release button halfway, the shutter speed and aperture values also appear.

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

While the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the double border for face recognition may blink, or the focus area or focus indicator may blink red. All of these cases indicate that the camera is not focused. Change the composition and try pressing the shutter-release button halfway again.
