Press the
Shutter
button all the way down. A 10-second
countdown appears on the Image Display. The Self-Timer
light on the front of the camera blinks slowly for 7 seconds
and then quickly for the final 3 seconds before the camera
takes the picture. If you set
Self-Timer
to
On - 2 shots
, the
Self-Timer light blinks for a few more seconds until the
second picture is taken.
Using the focus brackets
The two brackets in the middle of the viewfinder or the
Live
View
screen (see
on page 28) show the focus
region for the picture you are taking. When you press the
Shutter
button halfway down, the camera uses this focus region
to measure and then lock the focus.
The focus brackets turn green in the
Live View
screen and the
AF/
viewfinder light turns on solid green when the image is
in focus and the camera can lock the focus. However, the focus
brackets turn red and the
AF/
viewfinder light blinks green
when the camera is unable to focus.
If the focus brackets turn red and the viewfinder light blinks,
release the
Shutter
button, re-frame the subject for your picture,
and then press the
Shutter
button halfway down again. If the
focus brackets continue to turn red and the viewfinder light
continues to blink after several tries, the lighting may be too
low, or there may not be enough contrast in the focus region.
Try using
Focus Lock
