Pressing the shutter button halfway and all the way down

The shutter button has two positions. The act of lightly pressing the shutter button to the first position and holding it there is called “pressing the shutter button halfway,” that of pressing it all the way down to the second position “pressing the shutter button all (or the rest of) the way down.”

%Tips

•If no operations are performed for about 8 seconds, the monitor will dim.

If no operations are performed for approximately another minute, the camera will enter “sleep” (stand-by) mode and all operations will be suspended. The camera activates again when you touch any button (the shutter button, qbutton, etc.).

•If no operations are performed for about 5 minutes after the camera enters sleep mode, the camera will turn off automatically. g“SLEEP” (P. 74)

#Caution

•Bright light sources appear black when framed in the monitor but are recorded normally in the final picture.

•If the camera is used for extended periods, the temperature of the image pickup device will rise and noise and colored fog may appear in images recorded at high ISO sensitivities. Choose a lower ISO sensitivity or turn the camera off for a short period.
