Step 3 Focus and Shoot
1
Press the shutter-release button halfway.
Press the shutter-release button halfway (
A 27) to focus. 
When a face is recognized, it is framed by the double 
border indicating the active focus area. When the subject 
is in focus, the double border turns green.
When a face is not recognized, camera automatically 
selects the focus area (one of nine) containing the subject 
closest to the camera. When the subject is in focus, the 
active focus area glows green.
When digital zoom is used, the focus area is not displayed 
and the camera focuses at the center of the frame. Once focus has been acquired, the 
focus indicator (
A 8) turns green.
When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the shutter speed and aperture 
values also appear.
Focus and exposure remain locked while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
While the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the focus area or focus indicator 
may blink red. This indicates that the camera is unable to focus. Modify the composition 
and press the shutter-release button halfway again.
2
Press the shutter-release button the rest of 
the way down.
The shutter is released and the picture will be recorded to 
the memory card or internal memory.
