If the image does not focus... If the focus frame stays red and the operation lamp is flashing green, it means that the image is not in focus (because the subject is too close, etc.). Point the camera at the subject and try to focus again. Checking a Snapshot A snapshot will remain on the monitor screen for a short while after you shoot it and then disappear when the camera gets ready for the next image. Perform the following operation to view a snapshot after you shoot it. Press [ ]. This will display the snapshot you just shot. Use [W] and [X] to scroll through other images in memory. To return to a REC mode, press [ ]. ■ Fully pressing the shutter button without waiting for Auto Focus You can shoot snapshots by pressing the shutter button all the way without waiting for Auto Focus. What the camera does in this case depends on whether Quick Shutter (page 134) is on or off. When Quick Shutter is turned on High-speed Auto Focus is enabled, which helps you capture exactly the moment you want. Quick Shutter comes in handy when shooting a fast-moving subject. • Some images may be out of focus when Quick Shutter is used. • Quick Shutter is turned on as the initial factory default setting. When Quick Shutter is turned off Normal Auto Focus is performed and then the image is recorded. • If you keep the shutter button depressed, images will continue to be shot without focus. • Whenever possible, take a little extra time to half-press the shutter button in order to ensure proper focus.
