Operating the shutter release button
The shutter release button has two working positions.
Pressing it down halfway (first position) turns on the viewfinder
indicators and the autofocus system operates. Pressing it fully
(second position) takes a picture.
Press the shutter release button gently when taking a picture to prevent
camera shake.
Practice pressing the shutter release button halfway/fully to learn
where the first position and second position are.
The viewfinder indicators stay on while the shutter release button is
pressed halfway. The indicators stay on for about 10 seconds (default
setting) while the exposure metering timer is on after the button is
released. (p.31, p.114)
