The Imager
The imager is the component that records light when you capture an image. It is located 
behind the lens mount, and under the mirror and shutter. The specifications for the imager 
are noted below:
Firmly pressing the Shutter Release 
button captures an image.
Lightly pressing the Shutter Release 
button activates the exposure meter, 
Camera Status LCD panel and 
viewfinder indications. 
Autofocusing begins (unless the 
camera is set for manual focusing).
Lightly pressing the Shutter Release 
button causes the Image LCD panel 
to turn Off (if it was On). When you 
release your finger it will turn back 
On.
On rare occasions you might 
detect a slight pause between 
the time you firmly press the 
Shutter Release button and 
hear the mirror actuate. This 
occurs when the camera is in a 
critical processing state where 
it must finish several tasks 
before allowing a new image 
capture to begin.
