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:
The camera focuses on the face framed by the double
border. When the subject is in focus, the double border
glows green.
• When a face is not detected:
The camera has nine focus areas, and automatically
selects the focus areas containing the subject closest
to the camera. When the subject is in focus, the focus
areas that are in focus (up to nine areas) glow green.
• When you are using digital zoom, the camera focuses on the subject in the center of
the frame and the focus area is not displayed. When the camera has focused, the
focus indicator (
A6) glows green.
• While the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the focus area or focus indicator
may flash red. This indicates that the camera is unable to focus. Modify the
composition and press the shutter-release button halfway again.

Press the shutter-release button the rest of
the way down.
• The shutter is released and the image will be saved 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.
