The shutter release button works in a two-

(halfway), the autofocus function is enabled
to focus on the subject automatically. Keep
the camera as steady as possible to ensure
correct focusing.
The AF LED (green) will light and the
indicator
on the LCD monitor will turn to
green when the subject is in focus and the
focus, exposure and white balance will be
set.
Note
• The subject will be out of focus when the auto focus lamp flashes red
and the indicator on the LCD monitor turns red. Use the focus lock
function.
