Step 3 Focus and Shoot
1
Press the shutter-release button halfway.
Press the shutter-release button halfway ( A 11) to focus.
When a face is recognized, it is framed by the double
border indicating the active focus area. When the subject
is in focus, the double border turns green.
When a face is not recognized, camera automatically
selects the focus area (up to nine areas) containing the
subject closest to the camera. When the subject is in
focus, the active focus area glows green.
When digital zoom is used, the focus area is not displayed and the camera focuses at the
center of the frame. Once focus has been acquired, the focus indicator (
A 6) turns
green.
When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the shutter speed and aperture
values also appear.
Focus and exposure remain locked while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
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.
