Checking the Focus and Shooting
(Half-press)
When you press the shutter release button halfway (half-press),
the auto-focus function is triggered to determine the focal
distance. Next, press it all the way down (full-press) to shoot.
This is useful when the subject is not in the center of the screen
(P.33).
1.
Press the POWER button to turn the camera on.
For information on how to turn the power on, see P.22.
2.
Switch the Mode Selector to 5.
3.
Compose your shot by looking at
the LCD monitor.
4.
Since the focus is adjusted at the
center of the screen, position the
subject at the center of the screen
and half-press the shutter release
button.
The camera focuses on the subject and
the exposure is fixed.
If automatic focusing fails, the frame in the
center of the LCD monitor turns red and
the auto focus/flash lamp in the upper right
of the LCD monitor blinks in green.
