The Basics of Shooting and Playback
Step 4 Focus and Shoot
1 Press the shutter-release button
halfway to adjust the focus.
• “Pressing halfway“ is the action of pressing
the shutter-release button slightly until you
feel resistance and then holding in that
position.
• When the subject is in focus, the focus area
or focus indicator (A8) lights in green. If
the focus area or focus indicator flashes in
red, the subject is out of focus. Press the
shutter-release button halfway again.
• See “Focus and Exposure” (A27) for more
information.
2 Press the shutter-release button all the way to
take a picture.
• “Pressing all the way“ is the action of pressing the
shutter-release button the rest of the way down.
B Note on Recording Images and Saving Movies
The indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator showing the maximum
movie length flashes while images are being recorded or while a movie is being saved. Do not open
the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or remove the battery or memory card while an
indicator is flashing. Doing this could result in loss of data, or in damage to the camera or the
memory card.
C AF-assist Illuminator
In dark places, the AF-assist illuminator (A97) may light when the shutter-release button is pressed
halfway.
C To Make Sure You Do Not Miss a Shot
If you are concerned that you might miss a shot, press the shutter-release button all the way without
first pressing it halfway.
C Note on Quick Effects Function
In A (auto) mode, you can apply effects to images immediately after releasing the shutter (A32).
