Focus and Shoot
1 Press the shutter-release button
halfway (A 4).
Focus is locked when the shutter-release
button is pressed halfway. When focus is locked,
the active focus area glows green.
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 will glow green.
The shutter speed and aperture are displayed when the shutter-release button is
pressed halfway.
The focus and exposure remain locked while the shutter-release button is pressed
halfway.
When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, and then the double border blinks
in Face priority, or the focus area or the focus indicator blinks red, the camera is unable
to focus. Change the composition and press the shutter-release button halfway again.
See AF area mode (A 124) or “Shooting with Face Priority” (A 126) for more
information about Face Priority.
2 Press the shutter-release button the
rest of the way down.
