The Imager
The imager is the component that records light when you capture an image. It is located
behind the lens mount, and under the mirror and shutter. The specifications for the imager
are noted below:
Firmly pressing the Shutter Release
button captures an image.
Lightly pressing the Shutter Release
button activates the exposure meter,
Camera Status LCD panel and
viewfinder indications.
Autofocusing begins (unless the
camera is set for manual focusing).
Lightly pressing the Shutter Release
button causes the Image LCD panel
to turn Off (if it was On). When you
release your finger it will turn back
On.
☛
On rare occasions you might
detect a slight pause between
the time you firmly press the
Shutter Release button and
hear the mirror actuate. This
occurs when the camera is in a
critical processing state where
it must finish several tasks
before allowing a new image
capture to begin.
