4.2 Smoothly press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down to release the shutter and record the photograph. The access lamp next to the memory card slot cover will light. Do not eject the memory card or remove or disconnect the power source until the lamp has gone out and recording is complete. 5 Turn the camera off when shooting is complete. The Shutter-Release Button The camera has a two-stage shutter-release button. The camera focuses and the monitor turns off when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. If the subject is stationary (or if single-servo autofocus is selected in P, S, A, or M mode; 23), a beep will sound and focus will lock. To take the photograph, press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down. Focus The Built-in Flash If additional lighting is required for correct exposure in mode, the built-in flash will pop up automatically when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway (to prevent the flash from firing when lighting is poor, select Auto (flash off ) mode). Flash range varies with aperture and ISO sensitivity ( 117); remove lens hoods when using the flash. If the flash is required, photographs can only be taken when the flash-ready indicator ( ) is displayed. If a photograph can not be taken and the flash-ready indicator is not displayed, remove your finger briefly from the shutterrelease button and try again. To save battery power when the flash is not in use, return it to its closed position by pressing it gently downward till the latch clicks into place. For more information on using the flash, see page 34. Take photograph Tutorial: "Point-and-Shoot" Photography ( Mode) 17
