Step3 Focus and Shoot
1 Press the shutter-release button halfway.
The camera focuses on and adjusts the exposure to
the subject in the focus area.
• When the subject is in focus, the focus indicator
(p) is green. When the camera is unable to
focus, the focus indicator blinks red. Change the
composition and try again.
When digital zoom is in effect, the focus area is not
displayed.
2 Press the shutter-release button the rest
of the way down.
The picture will be recorded to the memory card or
internal memory.
l AF-assist Illuminator and Flash
If the subject is poorly lit, the AF-assist illuminator may light by pressing the shutter-release
button halfway, or the flash may fire by pressing the shutter-release button all the way down.
j During Recording
While pictures are being recorded, the y icon will be displayed, or the M (when the internal
memory is being used) or O (when the memory card is being used) icon will blink. Do not
turn the camera off, open the battery-chamber cover and the memory card slot cover, eject
the memory card, or remove or disconnect the power source while these icons are displayed.
Cutting power or removing the memory card in these circumstances could result in loss of
data or in damage to the camera or card.
