BNotes About Touch Shutter

•When a setting other than Single or Multi-shot 16 is selected for the Continuous setting

(E36), or in Sports scene mode (A32), use the shutter-release button to take images. Only one image can be taken at a time using the touch shutter function.

•Prevent shooting with accidental tapping of the monitor by changing the touch shooting setting to Touch AF/AE (E33) (except in some scene modes). At this setting, the shutter is not released when the monitor is tapped.

•When shooting a subject that is not suitable for autofocus, the camera may not be able to focus properly on the subject (A25).

•When a subject displayed in the monitor is tapped with the self-timer (A46) enabled, the camera locks focus and releases the shutter after 10 or 2 seconds.

•This setting may not be available with some functions. See “Functions That Cannot Be Used Simultaneously” (A55) for more information.

CTouch Shooting Setting

The touch shooting setting applied in A (auto) mode is stored in the camera’s memory even after the camera is turned off.
