Pressing the Shutter-Release Button Halfway/All the Way
• 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. When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, focus and
exposure (shutter speed and aperture value) are set. Focus and exposure remain
locked while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
• While the shutter-release button is held in this position, release the shutter and
take a picture by pressing the shutter-release button the rest of the way down.
Do not use force when pressing the shutter-release button, as this may result in
camera shake and blurred images.
