When you press the Shutter button down halfway, the
camera emits a short double-beep and focuses on your
subject (the indicator lamp (green) changes from
blinking to steady). At that point, the AF frame on the
screen becomes smaller and the camera sets the
shutter speed and aperture.

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

When you press the Shutter button down halfway, the image
on the screen freezes temporarily. However, this image is not
the recorded image.
