q Tapping the Monitor to Release the Shutter (Touch Shutter)
Tap the desired subject to take a picture.
• Do not use force when tapping the monitor as this may
cause slight movement of the camera, resulting in blurred
images.
• When digital zoom is in effect, the camera focuses on the
subject in the center of the frame.
• The shutter-release button can also be used when the touch
shutter option is selected.
• If X is displayed when the monitor is tapped, the shutter
cannot be released. Tap an area within
X or a border
displayed when the camera detects a face.

Notes About Touch Shutter
• When taking pictures with Continuous or BSS in Continuous setting (E43) enabled, or in
Sports or Museum scene mode ( A41), use the shutter-release button to take pictures. Only one
picture can be taken at a time using the touch shutter function.
• Prevent shooting with accidental tapping of the monitor in A (auto) mode and some scene
modes by changing the touch shooting setting to Touch AF/AE ( E40). At this setting, the
shutter is not released when the monitor is tapped.
• When shooting subjects with which autofocus may not perform as expected, the subject may not
be in focus ( A31).
• When a subject displayed in the monitor is tapped with the self-timer (A57) enabled, the camera
locks focus and releases the shutter after ten or two seconds.
• There are functions with which this setting cannot be enabled (A66).
