Gently press the shutter release
button all the way down.

blinks.
The still image you have taken freezes for a
moment on the LCD monitor and is recorded.
Note
Certain subjects are hard to bring into focus:
It may be impossible to bring the following subjects into focus.
• Subjects lacking contrast (the sky, a white wall, the hood of a car, etc.)
• Flat two-dimensional objects with only horizontal lines and no significant protrusions.
• Quickly moving objects.
• Things in poorly lit places.
• Areas with strong backlighting, or reflections.
• Things that flicker, such as fluorescent lights.
When you want to shoot subjects like this, first focus on an object the same distance as your
subject and then shoot. (see P.36)
• Press gently to prevent camera shake when you press the shutter release button.
• During distance measurement for auto focusing, the white dot at the center of the cross on
the LCD monitor blinks.
• The mark indicates that blurring may occur. Hold the camera still and focus the
camera again.
• When shooting in a dark place, the camera raises the focusing performance (auto focus
precision) by preliminary flashing immediately before shooting. This preliminary flashing is
skipped for shooting in no-flash mode.
• When the [LCD CONFIRM] is set to OFF in the setup screen, the still image shot will not be
displayed on the LCD monitor.
