BEFORE TAKING PICTURES

About the touch sensor (touch focus)

With the touch sensor, the image is focused simply by a light finger-touch on the shutter button (focus lock). With the subject in focus, just gently press the shutter button to take the picture for a perfectly focused image.

At the same time, the touch sensor is temporarily deactivated whenever the Recording Menu (page 54) is displayed, thereby facilitating operation of these screens.

Furthermore, you can also deactivate the touch sensor so that the autofocus operates only when you press the shutter button halfway (page 57).
