selector mode, the camera automatically selects one of the following scene modes.

mode currently enabled.
• Press the shutter-release button halfway to set focus and exposure. When the subject
is in focus, the focus area (active focus area) glows green.
• Press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down to take the picture.
