Using
the Camera
Pressing the Shutter button down halfway, the
camera emits a short double-beep and focuses on
your subject. At that point, the AF frame on the
screen becomes smaller and the camera sets the
shutter speed and aperture (The indicator lamp
(green) stops blinking and remains lit).

The image shown on the screen before taking the shot may
differ in its brightness, color, etc. from the image actually
recorded. If necessary, play back the recorded image to
check it (➡P.29).

If the camera does not emit a short double-beep and “{”
appears on the screen, the camera cannot focus.

the camera to focus), try standing about 2 m (6.6 ft.) from the
subject to take the picture.
