Step 4 Focus and Shoot
1
Press the shutter-release button halfway, i.e., press the button slightly
until you feel resistance.
• When you press the shutter-release button halfway, the
camera sets the focus and exposure (shutter speed and
aperture value). Focus and exposure remain locked
while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
• When a face is detected:
Focuses on the face around which a double border
(focus area) is displayed (see "Using Face Detection"
(
A75) for more information). When the camera has
focused on that face, the double border will turn green.
• When a face is not detected:
Selects the focus areas (up to nine) containing the
subject closest to the camera. When the subject is in
focus, the focus area (active focus area) lights in green
(maximum of nine areas).
• When the digital zoom is in effect, the camera focuses
on the subject at the center of the screen, and the
focus area is not displayed. When the subject is in
focus, the focus indicator (
A 6) lights in green.
• When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway and the focus area or focus
indicator flashes red, the subject is out of focus. Change the composition and press
the shutter-release button halfway again.
• If the shutter-release button is pressed halfway when the subject is dimly lit, the AF
assist illuminator ( A101) may light.

Press the shutter-release button all the way.
• The shutter is released and the picture is recorded.
• If you press the shutter-release button with too much
force, the camera may shake, causing images to be
blurred. Press the button gently.
