Ricoh Caplio R2 manual Checking the Focus and Shooting Half-press

Checking the Focus and Shooting (Half-press)

When you press the shutter release button halfway (half-press), the autofocus function is triggered to determine the focal distance. Subsequently press it all the way down (full-press) to shoot.

This is useful when the subject is not in the middle (see P.34).

1. To turn the power on, slide the power switch to open the lens cover.

For how to turn the power on, see P.24.

2. Switch the Mode Selector to 5.

3. Compose your shot by looking at the LCD Monitor.

4. Since the focus is adjusted at the center of the screen, position the subject at the center of the screen

and half-press the shutter.

Once focused, the exposure and white

balance are fixed.

Auto Focus/Flash Lamp

If the automatic focusing fails, the frame in the center of the LCD monitor turn red and the auto-focus/flash lamp in the upper right of the LCD Monitor blinks in green.
