Step 3 Focus and Shoot
1
Press the shutter-release button
halfway.
Focus is locked when the shutter-release
button is pressed halfway (
A 5).
When a face is detected, it is framed by the
double border indicating the active focus
area. When the subject is in focus, the double
border turns green.
When no face is detected, the camera
automatically selects the focus area (up to nine areas) suitable to the shooting scene.
When the subject is in focus, the focus area (
A 8, 49) that is selected glows green.
When digital zoom is used, the focus area is
not displayed and the camera focuses at the
center of the frame. Once focus has been
acquired, the focus indicator will glow green.
Shutter speed and aperture value are displayed when the shutter-release button is
pressed halfway.
The focus and exposure remain locked while the shutter-release button is pressed
halfway.
When the camera detects subject movement or camera shake and increases shutter
speed, the shutter speed indicator will turn green (Motion detection;
A 50).
If the focus area or the focus indicator blinks red when the shutter-release button is
pressed halfway, the camera is unable to focus. Modify the composition and press the
shutter-release button halfway again.
