Basic Functions
Pressing Fully
Pressing the shutter button down fully activates the shutter and causes
one shutter sound to sound.
While the image is being recorded to
the CF card, the indicator blinks green.
Shots cannot be taken while the flash is charging.
AF-assist Beam
• The AF-assist Beam will sometimes emit when the shutter
button is pressed halfway to assist focusing in certain
conditions, i.e., dark conditions.
• The AF-assist Beam can be turned off (p. 128).
If animals are your subject, turn off the beam when
shooting in the dark to avoid startling them. However,
please keep in mind the following facts.
- Turning the AF-assist beam off may make it more
difficult for the camera to focus.
- The red-eye reduction lamp may emit when the flash is
set to red-eye reduction auto or slow-synchro, even if
the AF-assist beam is turned off.
