Pressing the Shutter Button Completely
If the camera moves at the instant the Shutter button is released, the motion during
exposure may cause an unsharp picture. This occurrence, called “camera shake,” can be
prevented by following these guidelines:
1 Hold the camera with your right hand and the lens with your left hand (firmly) so that
they do not move when you capture the image.
2 Gently press the Shutter button from the halfway position to the fully-pressed position
with the fat part of your index finger. The trick to keeping the camera still when
capturing an image is to press the Shutter button by gently squeezing the camera with
your right hand.
Changing the Drive Mode
There are two drive modes: single exposure mode ( ) and continuous exposure mode
( ).
Single Exposure
In single exposure mode, one image is captured each time you press the Shutter button.
After capturing an image, return the Shutter button to the half-pressed position to prepare
for the next exposure while keeping the exposure value locked (possible only when the
camera is set to One-shot AF and Evaluative Metering modes).
Continuous Exposure
In continuous exposure mode, images are captured continuously at the following rates:
Press the Shutter button completely
to release the Shutter and capture an
image.
