Introduction
Basic Operations
Raising and Lowering the Flash (K Flash Pop-up Control)
Slide the K (flash pop-up) control (1) to make the flash pop up (2).
• See “Using the Flash” (A 32) for more information on setting the flash.
• If the flash will not be used, gently lower the flash until it clicks into place.
The Shutter-release Button
The camera features a two-stage shutter-release button. To set focus and
exposure, press the shutter-release button halfway, stopping when you feel
resistance. When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, focus and
exposure (shutter speed and aperture value) are set. Focus and exposure remain
locked while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
While the shutter-release button is held in this position, release the shutter and
take a picture by pressing the shutter-release button the rest of the way down. Do
not use force when pressing the shutter-release button, as this may result in
camera shake and blurred images.
