To ensure your shots are in focus, always begin by holding the shutter 

button halfway down, and once the subject is in focus, press the button all 

the way down to shoot.

In this manual, shutter button operations are described as pressing the 

button halfway or all the way down.

Keep the camera still until the shutter 

sound ends.

Images may be out of focus if you shoot without initially pressing the 

shutter button halfway.

Length of shutter sound playback varies depending on the time 

required for the shot. It may take longer in some shooting scenes, 

and images will be blurry if you move the camera (or the subject 

moves) before the shutter sound ends.

To conserve battery power when shooting, you can use the optical 

viewfinder instead of the screen. Shoot the same way as when using the

screen.

The lens may be partially visible through the optical viewfinder at some zoom

positions.

Although the camera automatically focuses on subjects, face detection and 

focusing is not possible.
