7. Shutter Button Operation and Autofocus

The shutter button has a two step construction. Press halfway (to the first
step) to activate focusing and metering, and press completely (to the sec­
ond step) to release the shutter and make the exposure.

1. Pressing Halfway

1) This activates autofocus. When the

subject is focused, the correspond­

ing focusing point momentarily lights
red and the green in-focus indicator
lights up in the viewfinder (in One-

shot AF mode).

• The autofocus system uses five

focusing points.

• The focusing point does not light

up in automatic focus point selec­

tion mode when the AF mode is
set to AI Servo.

•The in-focus indicator does not

light up in Al Servo AF mode.

2) At the same time, the camera deter­

mines the shutter speed and aper­

ture value combination (exposure
value), and the results are displayed

in the LCD panel and viewfinder. If

you remove your finger from the
shutter button, a timer operates to
continuously display the exposure

settings for six seconds.
