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 the 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:

Focuses on the face around which a double border 
(focus area) is displayed (see “Using Face Detection” 
(

A65) for more information). When the camera has 

focused on that face, the double border will turn green.

• When a face is not detected:

Focuses on the focus area selected by the camera 
according to the shooting scene. When the subject is in 
focus, the focus area (active focus area) lights in green 
(maximum of nine areas).

• When the digital zoom is in effect, the camera focuses on the subject at the center of 

the frame, and the focus area is not displayed. When the subject is in focus, the focus 
indicator (

A6) lights in green.

• When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway and the focus area or focus 

indicator may blink red, the camera is unable to focus. Change 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 is recorded.

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

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