Using Quick Shutter

Fully pressing the shutting button without waiting for Auto Focus to operate will record
using Quick Shutter (page 66).

• With Quick Shutter, the camera focuses faster than normal Auto Focus, which

means you can capture quick moving action more easily. Note, however, that some
images may be out of focus when Quick Shutter is used.

• Whenever possible, take a little extra time to half-press the shutter button in order

to ensure proper focus.

If the image does not focus...

If the focus frame stays red and the back lamp is flashing green, it means that the
image is not in focus (because the subject is too close, etc.) Re-point the camera at
the subject and try to focus again.

“Focus lock” (page 61) is the name of a technique you can use when you want to
shoot an image in which the subject to be focused on is not within the focus frame in
the center of the screen.
