Focus
Press the shutter-release button halfway to set
focus and exposure. If the camera is able to focus
on the subject in the focus area at the center of
the frame, the focus (p) indicator and focus
area will be displayed in green. If they blink red,
the camera was unable to focus. Change the
composition and try again. The focus area is not
displayed when digital zoom is in effect.

Take the picture
Press the shutter release button the rest of the
way down to take the picture. Note that the
flash may fire if the subject is poorly lit.
l
Shutter-Release Button
The camera features a two-stage shutter-release button. To set focus and exposure, press the
shutter-release button halfway, stopping when you feel resistance. Focus and exposure lock
while the shutter-release button is held in this position. To release the shutter and take a pic-
ture, press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down. Do not use force when press-
ing the shutter-release button, as this may result in camera shake and blurred pictures.
