e

Press the shutter release button lightly
with your fingertip.

The shutter release button works in a two-step
action. When you press it lightly (halfway), the
autofocus function is triggered to focus on the
subject automatically. Keep the camera as
steady as possible during this step to ensure
correct focusing.

The AF indication LED (green) will light when
the subject is in focus. The focus, exposure and
white balance settings are set at this point.

Note

• A flashing AF indication LED indicates that the subject is out of focus. If

this occurs, use the focus lock function. See “Focus Lock Shooting” (p.68).

• If the “SLOW SHUTTER” message appears on the LCD monitor, you are

recommended to shoot with the flash enabled or in S mode to avoid
camera shake that tends to occur in this situation. See “Changing Flash
Modes” (p.55) and “S Mode (Shutter Speed)” (p.77).
