Shooting Images

Press the shutter-release button 
halfway.

• To press the shutter-release button “halfway” 

means to press and hold the button at the point 
where you feel a slight resistance.

• When the subject is in focus, the focus area or 

focus indicator is displayed in green.

• When you are using digital zoom, the camera 

focuses in the center of the frame and the focus 
area is not displayed.

• If the focus area or focus indicator flashes, the 

camera is unable to focus. Modify the composition 
and try pressing the shutter-release button halfway 
again.

Without lifting your finger, press the 
shutter-release button all the way 
down.

The indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator showing the 
remaining recording time flashes while images or movies are being saved. Do not open 
the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or remove the battery or memory 
card while an indicator is flashing. Doing this could result in loss of data, or in damage to the 
camera or the memory card.

• When no operations are performed for about three minutes, the screen turns off, the 

camera enters standby mode, and then the power-on lamp flashes. The camera turns off 
after remaining in standby mode for about three minutes.

• To turn the screen back on while the camera is in standby mode, perform an operation 

such as pressing the power switch or shutter-release button.

We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera in the following situations:
• When shooting in dim lighting with the flash mode (A33) set to y Flash off
• When the zoom is at a telephoto position
