Autofocus function

Pressing the release button halfway activates the autofocus function. Once the subject is in focus, a green focus mark appears in the center of the LCD. When you press the button the rest of the way, the shutter releases and the picture is taken.

If the subject is out of focus when the button is pressed halfway, a red focus mark appears on the LCD. Lift your finger off the release button, and then slowly press the button halfway again. Even if the red focus mark appears, you can press the release button the rest of the way to take the picture.

Pressing the release button fully instead of pausing halfway will still take a picture, but the autofocus and exposure compensation functions will not activate.

If CAMERA SOUND in the SETUP menu is set to ANY ACTION or SHUTTER & PRINT, an operating sound is heard when the release button is pressed halfway or pressed fully.

Note

If slowly pressing the release button halfway does not refocus the image, turn the camera off and then on again. In addition, the autofocus function may not work properly in the following situations:

•The subject lacks enough contrast.

•The subject includes an extremely bright object.

•The background is abnormally dark.

•The subject is positioned within 80 cm of the camera.

Exposure compensation function

When the mode dial is set to – and the bB mark appears under the exposure compensation value (EV) at the top right of the LCD, you can easily adjust the exposure compensation by pressing the b or B control button.

Adjusting the exposure compensation may not have any effect for some EXPOSURE & FLASH settings.

For details, see “Setting the Shooting Conditions” on page 38.
