Step 3 Focus and Shoot
1
Press the shutter-release button halfway.
When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway
(
A 13), 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 a double
border in the focus area. When the subject is in focus,
the double border glows green.
When a face is not detected:
• The camera focuses on the subject in the center of the
frame. When the subject is in focus, the focus area
glows green.
The camera focuses in 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 8) 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.

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.
