Taking Pictures Using Tap Shooting Options
Avoid moving the camera when releasing the shutter. Camera
movement can result in blurred photographs.
The shutter-release button can be used to focus and take pictures even
when the
3 icon is displayed to show that touch shooting options are
active. Use the shutter-release button to take photographs in
continuous shooting mode (
0 72) and during movie recording. Touch
shooting options can be used only to take pictures one at a time in
continuous shooting mode and can not be used to take photographs
during movie recording.
While subject tracking ( 0 166) is active and 7 (touch shutter off ) is
selected, you can focus on the current subject by tapping the monitor.
In self-timer mode ( 0 75), focus locks on the selected subject when
you touch the monitor and the timer starts when you lift your finger
from the screen. At default settings, the shutter is released about 10 s
after the timer starts; the delay and number of shots can be changed
using Custom Setting c3 (Self-timer,
0 254). If the option selected for
Number of shots is greater than 1, the camera will automatically take
pictures one after the other until the selected number of shots is
recorded.
