Basic Steps for Shooting and Playback Step 4 Focus and Shoot 1 Press the shutter-release button halfway, i.e., press the button lightly until you feel a slight resistance. • When you press the shutter-release button halfway, the camera sets focus and exposure (shutter speed and aperture value). Focus and exposure remain locked while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. • When a face is detected: The camera focuses on the face framed by the double border. When the subject is in focus, the double border turns green. 1/ 250 F3.5 Shutter speed Aperture value • When a face is not detected: The camera has nine focus areas, and automatically selects the focus areas containing the subject closest to the camera. When the subject is in focus, the focus areas that are in focus (up to nine areas) glow green. 1/ 250 F3.5 Shutter speed Aperture value • When digital zoom is used, the focus area is not displayed and the camera focuses at the center of the frame. Once focus has been acquired, the focus indicator (A6) will glow green. • While the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the focus area or focus indicator may flash red. This indicates that the camera is unable to focus. Modify the composition and press the shutter-release button halfway again. 2 Press the shutter-release button all the way, i.e., press the button the rest of the way down. • The shutter is released and the image will be recorded to the memory card or internal memory. • If you press the shutter-release button with too much force, the camera may shake, causing images to be blurred. Press the button gently. 30
