Step 4 Focus and Shoot

The Basics of Shooting and Playback

1Press 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:

The camera focuses on the face framed by the double border. When the subject is in focus, the double border glows green.

•When a face is not detected:

The camera has nine focus areas, and automatically selects the focus areas containing the subject closest to the camera. When the subject is in focus, the focus areas that are in focus (up to nine areas) glow green.

•When you are using digital zoom, the camera focuses on the subject in the center of the frame and the focus area is not displayed. When the camera has focused, the focus indicator (A 6) glows green.

•While the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the focus area or focus indicator may blink red. This indicates that the camera is unable to focus. Modify the composition and press the shutter-release button halfway again.

2Press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down.

•The shutter is released and the image will be saved to

the memory card or internal memory.

•If you press the shutter-release button with too much force, the camera may shake, causing images to be blurred. Press the button gently.
