Adjusting the Camera Settings in Shooting Mode
More on Shooting
The shutter-release button can also be used when the touch shutter option is selected.
If H is displayed when the monitor is tapped,
the shutter cannot be released. Tap an area
within H or a border displayed when the
camera recognizes a face.
B Notes on Touch Shutter
• When taking pictures with C Continuous or D BSS enabled, or in d Sports or l Museum
scene mode, use the shutter-release button to take pictures. Only one picture can be taken at a
time using the touch shutter function.
• Prevent shooting with accidental tapping of the monitor in G (easy auto) mode, A (auto) mode,
and some scene modes by changing the touch shooting setting to R Touch AF/AE (A53). At
this setting, the shutter is not released when the monitor is tapped.
• In some rare cases, shooting subjects with which autofocus may not perform as expected, the
subject may not be in focus (A31).
• There may be functions with which this setting cannot be enabled. See “Camera Settings That
cannot be Applied Simultaneously” (A 75) for more information.
