Step 3 Focus and Shoot 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. Basic Photography and Playback: Auto Mode Press the shutter-release button halfway to set focus and exposure Press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down to take picture B During Recording While pictures are being recorded, the number of exposures remaining 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. B 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 focus area or the focus indicator glow green: • Subject is very dark • Objects of sharply differing brightness are included in the scene (e.g. the sun behind the subject makes that subject appear very dark) • No contrast between the subject and surroundings (e.g. a portrait subject, wearing a white shirt, is standing in front of a white wall) • 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 (A 107). 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. B Note on Face Priority See AF area mode (A 106) and "Face Priority" (A 108) for more information. D AF-assist Illuminator and Flash If the subject is poorly lit, the AF-assist illuminator (A 128) may light by pressing the shutter-release button halfway, or the flash (A 30) may fire when the shutter-release button is pressed all the way down. 27
