Focus and Shoot
1
Press the shutter-release button
halfway.
When the shutter-release button is pressed
halfway (
7), the camera sets focus and
exposure (shutter speed and aperture
value). Focus and exposure remain locked
while the shutter-release button is pressed
halfway.
When a face is detected, it is framed by the double border
indicating the active focus area. When the subject is in
focus, the double border turns green.
When a face is not detected, the camera automatically
selects one (or more) of the nine focus areas containing
the subject closest to the camera. When focus is set, the
active focus area (up to nine areas) turns 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 will glow
green.
If the focus area or the focus indicator blinks red when
the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, 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.
