Press the shutter-release button 
halfway, i.e., press the button slightly 
until you feel resistance.

• When you press the shutter-release button 

halfway, the camera sets focus and exposure 
(shutter speed and aperture value). Focus 
and exposure remain locked while the 
shutter-release button is pressed halfway.

• When a face is detected, 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 detected, the camera automatically 

selects the focus area (up to nine areas) suitable to the 
shooting scene. When the subject is in focus, the focus 
area that is selected 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) will 

glow green.

• If the focus area or the focus indicator blinks red when the shutter-release button is 

pressed halfway, the camera is unable to focus. Modify the composition and press the 
shutter-release button halfway again.

Press the shutter-release button all the way, 
i.e., press the button the rest of the way down.

• The shutter is released and the picture will be recorded 

to the memory card or internal memory.

• If you press the shutter-release button with too much 

force, the camera may shake, causing pictures to be blurred. Press the button gently.
