Basic Steps for Shooting and Playback

Step 4 Focus and Shoot

1 Press 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.

•Once focus is acquired, the focus area glows green. See “Focus Area” (A57) for more information.

• When digital zoom is used, the focus area is not displayed and the camera focuses at the

center of the frame. Once focus is acquired, the focus indicator (A6) glows green.

• If the focus area or the focus indicator flashes red when the shutter-release button is

pressed halfway, the camera is unable to focus. Modify the composition and press the shutter-release button halfway again.

2Press the shutter-release button all the way

(i.e., press the button the rest of the way down).

• The shutter is released and the image will be recorded 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.
