Shutter Ring To ensure your shots are in focus, always begin by holding the shutter ring halfway down, and once the subject is in focus, press the ring all the way down to shoot. In this manual, shutter ring operations are described as pressing the ring halfway or all the way down. 1 Press halfway. (Press lightly to focus.) zzPress the shutter ring halfway. The camera beeps twice, and AF frames are displayed around image areas in focus. 2 Press all the way down. (From the halfway position, press fully to shoot.) XXThe camera shoots, as a shutter sound is played. zzKeep the camera still until the shutter sound ends. zzYou can also press the bottom of the shutter ring halfway and all the way. • Images may be out of focus if you shoot without initially pressing the shutter ring halfway. • Length of shutter sound playback varies depending on the time required for the shot. It may take longer in some shooting scenes, and images will be blurry if you move the camera (or the subject moves) before the shutter sound ends.
