Shutter Button and Autofocus Operations
The EOS shutter button can be pressed halfway or all the way. The
shutter button operates as follows.
Pressing the Shutter Button
Halfway
• This initiates auto-focusing (AF).
When focusing is achieved, a
green light in the viewfinder (the
focus lamp) lights up.
•
At the same time, the shutter
speed and aperture combination
(exposure setting) is set. The AE
mark in the viewfinder lights up and
the aperture value is displayed on
the LCD panel.
Pressing the Shutter Button
Completely
• This releases the shutter to take
the picture and the film advances
by one frame.
If the shutter speed is slow, blurred pictures may result due to camera shake, in order to
obtain sharp photographs, please note the following three points:
• Avoid moving the camera while taking a photograph.
• Always hold the shutter button at the half-way point before taking photographs.
• Use a fast-enough shutter speed or use a tripod whe using a slow shutter speed.
