4 Frame the subject and take a picture.

When the camera detects a face, a yellow double border (focus area) is displayed around that face. When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the camera focuses on that face framed by a double border (A28, 50).

When taking pictures of subjects other than

people, or framing a subject with which no

 

face is detected, the camera automatically selects one or more of the nine focus areas containing the subject closest to the camera (A50). When focus is set, the active focus area (up to nine areas) turns green.

A picture is taken when the shutter-release button is pressed all the way down.

At the default setting, the shutter can be released by simply tapping a subject in the monitor (A41) without pressing the shutter-release button. The Touch shutter option can be changed to the Touch AF/AE option, which allows the camera to set the focus and exposure on the subject that is tapped on the monitor. When using the Touch AF/AE option, the picture is taken by pressing the shutter-release button (A44).
