How the Shutter Button Works
If an Extender (sold separately) is used and the maximum aperture (the
lowest f/number) of the lens becomes smaller than f/5.6, autofocusing will not
operate.
The shutter button has two stages.You can press it down halfway or fully.
The two levels of shutter button operation are as follows:
When it is pressed halfway:
s
Pressing the shutter button down
halfway activates autofocusing (AF)
and automatic exposure (AE) and the
shutter speed and aperture value are
set.
s
The exposure (the combination of
shutter speed and aperture value)
appears on the LCD panel and in the
viewfinder (
0
).
When it is pressed fully:
s
The shutter is released to take the
picture and the film advances by one
frame.
• After pressing the shutter button halfway, wait a moment before pressing it
completely to take the picture. If you press the shutter button completely at
one stroke or right after pressing it halfway, it will take a moment before the
picture is taken.
• Camera movement during the moment of exposure is called camera shake.
Camera shake can cause blurred pictures.To prevent blurred pictures due to
camera shake:
·
Hold the camera steady.
·
Use your finger tip to touch the shutter button, grasp the camera with your
entire right hand, then press the shutter button gently.
• If the AF Mode Dial has been set to <
5
>, the focus confirmation
light <
n
> will not light.
• If the AF Mode Dial has been set to <
5
> and automatic AF point
selection is set (p.42), the AF point will not flash in red.
