Basic Photography and Playback: A (Auto) Mode Tapping the Monitor to Release the Shutter (Touch Shutter) B Notes on Touch Shutter • When taking pictures with Continuous or BSS in Continuous setting (A 53) enabled, or in Sports or Museum scene mode (A 59), use the shutter-release button to take pictures. Only one picture can be taken at a time using the touch shutter function. • Prevent shooting with accidental tapping of the monitor in A (auto) mode and some scene modes by changing the touch shooting setting to Touch AF/AE (A 37). At this setting, the shutter is not released when the monitor is tapped. • In some rare cases, shooting subjects with which autofocus may not perform as expected, the subject may not be in focus (A 31). • When a subject displayed in the monitor is tapped with the self-timer (A 44) enabled, the camera locks focus and releases the shutter after ten or two seconds.
