Pressing the Shutter Button To take images that are in focus, be sure to first press the shutter button lightly (halfway) to focus, then press fully to shoot. Press halfway (lightly to focus). ∆ Press lightly until the camera beeps twice and AF frames appear where the camera focused. Press fully (all the way to shoot). The camera plays the shutter sound and takes the shot. ∆ Since the shot is being taken while the shutter sound plays, be careful not to move the camera. Does the length of the shutter sound change? • Since the time required to shoot differs according to the scene you want to take, the length of the shutter sound may change. • If the camera or subject moves while the shutter sound is playing, the recorded image may be blurry. If you shoot without pressing the shutter button halfway, the image may not be in focus. 23
