The shutter release button works in a two- step action. When you press it lightly (halfway), the autofocus function is enabled to focus on the subject automatically. Keep the camera as steady as possible to ensure correct focusing.

The AF LED (green) will light and the

indicator on the LCD monitor will turn to green when the subject is in focus and the focus, exposure and white balance will be set.

Note • The subject will be out of focus when the auto focus lamp flashes red

and the indicator on the LCD monitor turns red. Use the focus lock function. → P.49 “Focus Lock Shooting”

•If the “SLOW SHUTTER” message appears, you are recommended to

shoot with the flash enabled as camera shake tends to occur in this situation. → P.55 “Changing Flash Modes”
