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.
• Once focus is acquired, the focus area glows
green. See “Focus Area” ( A57) for more
information.
• When digital zoom is used, the focus area is
not displayed and the camera focuses at the
center of the frame. Once focus is acquired,
the focus indicator (
A6) glows green.
• If the focus area or the focus indicator flashes
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.

Press the shutter-release button all the way
(i.e., press the button the rest of the way
down).
• The shutter is released and the image will be recorded
to the memory card or internal memory.
• If you press the shutter-release button with too much force, the camera may shake,
causing images to be blurred. Press the button gently.
