Step 3 Focus and Shoot
1
Press the shutter-release button halfway.
When people's faces (front view) are recognized:
Camera will focus on the face surrounded by a double
border. When the subject is in focus, the double border
will glow green.
When shooting non-human subjects or when no faces
are recognized.
Camera automatically selects the focus area (one of nine)
containing the subject closest to the camera. When the
subject is in focus, the active focus area glows green.
When digital zoom is in effect, the focus area will not be displayed and the camera will
focus on the subject in the center focus area. The focus indicator will glow green and the
focus area will not be displayed.
Press the shutter-release button halfway to display the shutter speed and aperture.
Focus and exposure remains locked while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
When the camera is unable to focus while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway,
either the double border for face priority will blink; or the focus area or focus display will
blink red. Change the composition and try again.
See AF area mode ( A 94) or “Face Priority” ( A 96) for more information about Face
Priority.
