Basic Steps for Shooting and Playback
Step 4 Focus and Shoot
1 Press the shutter-release button
halfway, i.e., press the button slightly
until you feel resistance.
• When you press the shutter-release button
halfway, the camera sets the focus and exposure
(shutter speed and aperture value). Focus and
exposure remain locked while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
• When a face is detected, it is framed by the
double border indicating the active focus
area. When the subject is in focus, the double
border turns green.
• If no face is detected and G or i is displayed
as the shooting mode icon, the camera
automatically selects one (or more) of the
nine focus areas containing the subject
closest to the camera. When the subject is in
focus, the focus area that is selected glows
green (up to nine areas). If a shooting mode
icon other than those above is displayed, the
camera focuses on the subject at the center of the frame (A 6).
• When digital zoom is used, the focus area is not displayed and the camera focuses at
the center of the frame. Once focus has been acquired, the focus indicator (A 6) will
glow green.
• If the focus area or the focus indicator blinks red when the shutter-release button is
pressed halfway, the camera is unable to focus. Modify the composition and press the
shutter-release button halfway again.
2 Press the shutter-release button all the way,
i.e., press the button the rest of the way down.
• The shutter is released and the picture will be recorded
to the memory card or internal memory.
• If you press the shutter-release button with too much
force, the camera may shake, causing pictures to be blurred. Press the button gently.
