Composing, Focusing, and
Capturing
1. Hold the camera properly.
• Use your left hand to cradle the camera with your elbow propped
against your body for support.
• Grasp the camera hand grip with your right hand.
• Stand with one foot forward a half step and keep your upper body
still.
2. Center the focus brackets on your subject and lightly press the Shutter
Release button.
If the subject is in focus, the focus indicator appears in the
viewfinder.
If the camera cannot focus using autofocus, the focus indicator
blinks. Use Manual focus (see
page 8-9 ).
Tips:
• With dark subjects, the AF-Assist Illuminator (see page 8-6 )
automatically guides autofocus.
• To capture a subject outside the focus area, shift the focus area
(see page 8-1 ) or use Focus Lock (see page 8-7 ).
• See page 8-8 for situations where autofocus may produce
unexpected results.
3. Slowly press the Shutter Release button.
NOTE: You can capture images in a vertical orientation (see page 5-14 )
using Advanced mode (see page 4-19 ).
