Step 3 Focus and Shoot

Press the shutter-release button halfway.

By default, the camera automatically focuses on the
subject in the center focus area.
When the subject is in focus, the focus area and focus
indicator (p) glow green.
When the camera is unable to focus, the focus area
and focus indicator blink red. Change the
composition and try again.
When digital zoom is in effect, the focus area is not
displayed and focus is acquired on the subject in the
center of the monitor.

Press the shutter-release button the rest

of the way down.

The picture will be recorded to the memory card or
internal memory.

Shutter-Release Button

The camera features a two-stage shutter-release button. To set focus and exposure, press the
shutter-release button halfway, stopping when you feel resistance. Focus and exposure lock
while the shutter-release button is held in this position. To release the shutter and take a
picture, press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down. Do not use force when
pressing the shutter-release button, as this may result in camera shake and blurred pictures.
