3 Focus and shoot.

At default setting, the camera automatically selects the focus area containing the closest subject, from nine focus areas, and adjusts focus accordingly (A105).

BS (Shutter-Priority Auto) Mode

If the selected shutter speed would result in the picture being over- or underexposed, the shutter- speed display will flash when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. Choose another shutter speed and try again.

At speeds slower than 1/4 sec, the shutter speed indicator will turn red to show that noise reduction (A109) is recommended to reduce “noise” in the form of randomly-spaced, brightly colored dots.

BNote on Shutter Speed

When [Continuous], [BSS], [Continuous flash] or [Multi-shot 16] is selected for [Continuous] (A101), or when a setting other than [Off] is selected for [Auto bracketing] (A104), the slowest shutter speed available is down to 1/2 sec.

A shutter speed of 1/2,000s is only available when the camera is zoomed all the way out.
