Step 3 Focus and Shoot
1 Press the shutter-release button halfway.
Focus is locked when the shutter-release button is
pressed halfway (A 11).
The camera automatically selects the focus area (up to
nine areas) containing the subject closest to the camera.
When the subject is in focus, the active focus area glows
green.
When digital zoom is used, the focus area is not displayed
and the camera focuses at the center of the frame. Once
focus has been acquired, the focus indicator (A 6) glows
green.
When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the
shutter speed and aperture values also appear.
Focus and exposure remain locked while the shutter-
release button is pressed halfway.
While the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the
focus area or focus indicator may blink red. This indicates that the camera is unable to
focus. Modify the composition and press the shutter-release button halfway again.
2 Press the shutter-release button the rest of
the way down.
The shutter is released and the picture will be recorded to
the memory card or internal memory.
