The Basics of Shooting and Playback
Step 4 Focus and Shoot
1 Press the shutter-release button halfway
(A31).
• When the camera detects the main subject, it focuses
on that subject. When the subject is in focus, the focus
area that is in focus lights in green (up to three areas).
See “Using Target Finding AF” (A75) for more
information.
• When you are using digital zoom, the camera focuses on
the subject in the center of the frame and the focus area is
not displayed. When the camera has focused, the focus
indicator (A9) glows green.
• While the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the
focus area or focus indicator may flash 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 (A31).
• The shutter is released and the image will be saved.
3 To apply an effect to the captured image,
press the k button.
• The screen for selecting an effect is displayed. See “Using
Quick Effects” (A39) for more information.
• When you press the d button or when no operations
are performed for about five seconds, the monitor display
returns to the shooting screen.
• To not display the screen shown on the right, set Quick
effects to Off (A69).
