Checking the Focus and Shooting (Half-press)
When you press the shutter release bu tton halfway (half-press), the autofocus
function is triggered to determine the f ocal distance. Subsequently press it all
the way down (full-press) to shoot.
This is useful when the subjec t is not in the middle (see P.40).
1. Make sure the camera power is on
and turn the mode dial to 5, P, A,
or M.
2. Compose your shot by looking at
the LCD monitor.
3. Put the subject of your photo right
in the middle and press the
shutter release button half-way.
The F-value (aperture val ue) and shutter
speed are displayed at the right end of the
LCD monitor.
The subject comes into focus and the
exposure and white balance are fixed.
If the automatic focusing fails, the
crosshairs in the center of the LCD
monitor turn red and the au to-focus lamp
in the upper right of the viewfinder blinks
in green.
