Step 3
Focus
and
Shoot
~
During Recording
While pictures are being recorded,
the
number
of
exposures remaining display will blink. Do
not
open
the
battery-chamber/memory
card slot cover while pictures are being recorded.
Cutting
power
or removing
the
memory
card in these circumstances could result in
loss
of
data or in
damage
to
the
camera or card.
~
Autofocus
Autofocus may
not
perform
as
expected in
the
following
situations.
In
some
rare
cases,
the
subject
may
not
be in focus despite
the
fact
that
the
active focus
area,
or focus indicator, glows green:
• Subject
is
very dark
• Objects
of
sharply differing brightness are included
in
the
scene
(e.g.,
the
sun
is
behind
the
subject
and
is
in
deep
shadow)
• No contrast
between
the
subject and surroundings
(e.g.,
when
the
subject
is
standing
in
front
of
a
white
wall, wearing a
white
shirt)
• Several objects are at
different
distances
from
the
camera
(e.g.,
the
subject
is
inside a cage)
• Subject
is
moving
rapidly
In
the
situations
noted
above, try pressing
the
shutter-release
button
halfway
to
refocus several
times,
or
focus
on
another
subject and use focus lock
(~
91).
When using focus lock, be sure
that
the
distance
between
the
camera and
the
subject
with
which
focus was locked
is
the
same
as
that
for
the
actual subject.
~
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 picture, press
the
shutter-release
button
the
rest
of
the
way
down.
Do
not
use force
when
pressing
the
shutter-release
button,
as
this may result in camera shake and
blurred pictures.
