Pressing completely

This releases the shutter and takes the
picture.

Preventing Camera Shake
Camera movement during the moment of exposure is called camera

shake, note the following:

• Hold and steady the camera as shown on the previous page.
• Press the shutter button halfway to autofocus, then press the

shutter button completely.

Shutter Button

If you press the shutter button completely without pressing it halfway first
or if you press the shutter button halfway and then press it completely
immediately, the camera will take a moment before it takes the picture.

Even during the menu display, image playback, and image recording,
you can instantly go back to shooting-ready by pressing the shutter
button halfway.
