Operating the shutter release button

The shutter release button has two working positions.

Pressing it down halfway (first position) turns on the viewfinder and
LCD panel indicators and the autofocus system operates. Pressing it
fully (second position) takes the picture.

• Press the shutter release button gently when taking a picture to prevent

camera shake.

• Practice pressing the shutter release button halfway to learn where the

first position is.

• The viewfinder indicators stay on while shutter release button is

pressed halfway. The indications stay on for about 10 seconds (default
setting) while the exposure metering timer is on after the button is
released. (p.27, p.99)
