The shutter release button has two positions. Depressing it down
halfway (first position) turns on the exposure meter and
autofocus system.

Depressing it fully (second position) releases the shutter. When
taking a picture, depress the shutter release button gently to
prevent camera shake.

MEMO

• To prevent camera shake, depress the shutter release button gently.
• Before loading a roll of film, slowly depress the shutter release button to learn

where the first position is.

• The LCD indication stays on for about 10 seconds after the button is released

from the halfway position. Depressing the shutter release button down halfway
keeps the LCD indicator on.
