Step 3 Focus and Shoot
1 Press the shutter-release button halfway.
The camera focuses on the subject overlapping the focus
area in the center of the monitor.
When the subject is in focus, the focus area and focus
indicator (Q) glow green.
When the camera is unable to focus, the focus area and
focus indicator blink red. Change the composition and try
again.
2 Press the shutter-release button the rest of
the way down.
The picture will be recorded to the memory card or
internal memory.
B During Recording
While pictures are being recorded, the O (wait) icon will be displayed and the C or X icon will blink.
Do not turn the camera off, open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover, or remove or
disconnect the power source while these icons are displayed. Cutting power or removing the
memory card in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage to the camera or card.
D 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. Focus and exposure lock while
the shutter-release button is held in this position. To release the shutter and take a picture, press 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 pictures.
