4 Focus and Shoot
1
Press the shutter-release button halfway, i.e.,
press the button slightly until you feel
resistance.
• When you press the shutter-release button halfway, the
camera sets the focus and exposure (shutter speed and
aperture value). Focus and exposure remain locked
while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
• The camera automatically focuses on the subject in the
center focus area. When the subject is in focus, the
focus area lights in green, and the AF/access lamp next
to the viewfinder lights.
• When the digital zoom is in effect, the camera focuses
on the subject at the center of the screen, and the focus
area is not displayed. When the subject is in focus, the
AF/access lamp lights in green.
• When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway and
the focus area blinks red or the AF/access lamp flickers,
the camera is unable to focus. Change the composition
and press the shutter-release button halfway again.
2
Press the shutter-release button all the way,
i.e., press the button the rest of the way down.
• The shutter is released and the picture is recorded.
• If you press the shutter-release button with too much
force, the camera may shake, causing images to be
blurred. Press the button gently.
B
During Recording
• While the AF/access lamp or the indicator showing the number of exposures remaining is
blinking, images are being recorded. Do not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot
cover. Cutting the power or removing the memory card in these circumstances could result in
loss of data or in damage to the camera or card.
• Depending on the settings or shooting conditions, the image recording time may take longer
than usual ( F11).
