Basic Photography and Playback: A (Auto) Mode
Step 3 Focus and Shoot
1 Press the shutter-release button
halfway.
When the shutter-release button is pressed
halfway (A 9), the camera sets 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:
• The camera focuses on the face framed by the double
border. When the subject is in focus, the double border
glows green.
When a face is not detected:
• The camera has nine focus areas, and automatically
selects the focus areas containing the subject closest
to the camera. When the subject is in focus, the focus
areas that are in focus (up to nine areas) glow green.
The camera focuses at the center of the frame and the focus area is not displayed when
digital zoom is in effect. Once focus has been acquired, the focus indicator (A 6) glows
green.
While the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the focus area or focus indicator
may blink red. This indicates that the camera is unable to focus. Modify the composition
and press the shutter-release button halfway again.
2 Press the shutter-release button the rest of
the way down.
The shutter is released and the image will be saved to the
memory card or internal memory.
