Focus and shoot
4.1 Focus
Press the shutter-release button halfway. The
camera will select the focus area (
4–5) con-
taining the subject closest to the camera. If
the camera is able to focus on this subject,
the focus (AF●) 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.

4.2 Take the picture
Press the shutter release button the rest of the
way down to take the picture. Note that the
fl ash may fi re if the subject is poorly lit.
If lighting is poor and the fl ash is off , a icon will be dis-
played to warn that pictures may be blurred as a result of
the slow shutter speeds. If an ISO icon is displayed, sensi-
tivity has been raised to compensate for poor lighting and
pictures may be aff ected by “noise” in the form of randomly-
spaced, brightly-colored dots. The camera may process pic-
tures to reduce noise, doubling recording times.
If the warning at right is displayed after a picture is taken,
the picture may be blurred. Select No to exit without re-
cording the picture.
