Frame the subject and take a
picture.
When the camera detects a face, a
yellow double border (focus area) is
displayed around that face. When
the shutter-release button is pressed
halfway, the camera focuses on that
face framed by a double border (
A 26, 49).
When taking pictures of subjects other than people, or framing a subject with which no
face is detected, the camera automatically selects one or more of the nine focus areas
containing the subject closest to the camera (
A 49). When focus is set, the active focus
area (up to nine areas) turns green.
A picture is taken when the shutter-release button is pressed all the way down.
At the default setting, the shutter can be released by simply tapping a subject in the
monitor (
A 41) without pressing the shutter-release button. The Touch shutter
option can be changed to the Touch AF/AE option, which allows the camera to set the
focus and exposure on the subject that is tapped on the monitor. When using the
Touch AF/AE option, the picture is taken by pressing the shutter-release button
(
A 44).
