Step 3 Focus and Shoot
1 Press the shutter-release button halfway.
The camera focuses on the subject positioned within
the active focus area. By default, the camera auto-
matically chooses the focus area (one of five) contain-
ing the subject closest to the camera and adjusts
exposure accordingly.
When the subject is in focus, the active focus area
and focus indicator (p) glow green.
When the camera is unable to focus, the focus area
and focus indicator blink red. Change the composi-
tion and try again.
The focus area is not displayed when digital zoom is
in effect.
2 Press the shutter-release button the rest
of the way down.
The picture will be recorded to the memory card or
internal memory.
l Shutter-Release Button
The camera features a two-stage shutter-release button. To set focus and exposure, press the
shutter-release button halfway, stopping when you feel resistance. Focus and exposure lock
while the shutter-release button is held in this position. To release the shutter and take a pic-
ture, press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down. Do not use force when press-
ing the shutter-release button, as this may result in camera shake and blurred pictures.
