Getting to Know the Camera
Introduction
The Shutter-Release Button
The camera is equipped with a two-stage shutter-release button. To focus, press the
shutter-release button halfway, stopping when you feel resistance. Focus will lock* while
the shutter-release button is held in this position. To release the shutter and shoot, press
the shutter-release button the rest of the way down.
* Focus will not lock, nor will the beep indicating that the subject is in focus sound, if Focus
mode (A 57) is set to Continuous-servo AF, or if Continuous-servo AF is automatically
applied with Auto-servo AF selected for moving subjects.
N (Help) Button
While M (N) is held down, information on current
shooting conditions, and help for menus, are
displayed in the monitor; to scroll the display, press
the multi selector up or down. A blinking F icon in
the monitor or a blinking L (warning indicator) in the
viewfinder indicates that help on an error or other
problem can be viewed in the monitor by pressing M (N).
