halfway.
When the shutter-release button is pressed

exposure (shutter speed and aperture value). 
Focus and exposure remain locked while the

border indicating the active focus area. When the subject 
is in focus, the double border turns green.
When a face is not detected, camera automatically selects 
the focus area (up to nine areas) 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 (

shutter-release button halfway again.
