Pressing the release button halfway activates the 
autofocus function. Once the subject is in focus, a green 
focus mark appears in the center of the LCD. When you 
press the button the rest of the way, the shutter releases 
and the picture is taken.
If the subject is out of focus when the button is pressed 
halfway, a red focus mark appears on the LCD. Lift your 
finger off the release button, and then slowly press the 
button halfway again. Even if the red focus mark 
appears, you can press the release button the rest of the 
way to take the picture.
Pressing the release button fully instead of pausing 
halfway will still take a picture, but the autofocus and 
exposure compensation functions will not activate.
If 

CAMERA SOUND in the SETUP menu is set to 

ANY ACTION or SHUTTER & PRINT, an operating 
sound is heard when the release button is pressed 
halfway or pressed fully.

If slowly pressing the release button halfway does not 
refocus the image, turn the camera off and then on again.
In addition, the autofocus function may not work 
properly in the following situations:
• The subject lacks enough contrast.
• The subject includes an extremely bright object.
• The background is abnormally dark.
• The subject is positioned within 80 cm of the camera.

When the mode dial is set to 

 – 

 and the bB 

mark appears under the exposure compensation value 
(EV) at the top right of the LCD, you can easily adjust 
the exposure compensation by pressing the b or B 
control button.
Adjusting the exposure compensation may not have any 
effect for some EXPOSURE & FLASH settings.

Connect the camera to the printer and press the 1 
button on the printer.
