The Shutter-Release Button
Your camera has a two stage shutter-release button. The camera sets focus

to the viewfi nder will light when the focus operation is complete. Focus
and exposure will remain locked while the shutter-release button is pressed
halfway. To take the picture, press the shutter-release button the rest of the
way down.
