Focus.
Press the shutter button halfway
to focus.
1 Note
The lens may make a noise when the camera fo-
cuses; this is normal. In M mode, the cam-
era continuously adjusts focus, increasing the
drain on the batteries.
If the camera is able to focus, it will beep twice
and the indicator lamp will glow green.
If the camera is unable to focus, the focus frame
will turn red, s will be displayed, and the
indicator lamp will blink green. Change the
composition or use focus lock (P 32).

Smoothly press the shutter button
the rest of the way down to take
the picture.

shutter button halfway (

to shoot, press the shutter button the rest of the way
down (
