Notes on Touch Shutter
• When taking pictures with Continuous or BSS in Continuous setting (A 53) enabled, or in
Sports or Museum scene mode (A 59), use the shutter-release button to take pictures. Only
one picture can be taken at a time using the touch shutter function.
• Prevent shooting with accidental tapping of the monitor in A (auto) mode and some scene
modes by changing the touch shooting setting to Touch AF/AE (A 37). At this setting, the
shutter is not released when the monitor is tapped.
• In some rare cases, shooting subjects with which autofocus may not perform as expected, the
subject may not be in focus (A 31).
• When a subject displayed in the monitor is tapped with the self-timer (A 44) enabled, the
camera locks focus and releases the shutter after ten or two seconds.

Tapping the Monitor to Release the Shutter (Touch Shutter)
Tap the intended subject. Focus and exposure are set for the
area tapped. When the camera recognizes more than one
face, tap a face framed by a single border to set focus and
exposure for that face.
• When the camera recognizes a face, focus and exposure are
set for the area framed by the double border. When the
camera recognizes more than one face, tap a face framed
by a single border to set focus and exposure for that face.
• When no face is recognized, the camera focuses at the area
tapped.
Only a border displayed by the face priority function can be
selected. When the camera recognizes more than one face,
tap a face framed by a single border to set focus and exposure
for that face.
Focus and exposure are set for the same focus area used
when pictures are taken by pressing the shutter-release
button. See "Selecting a Scene Mode to Take Pictures
(Features)" (A 62) for more information.
Touch shutter cannot be enabled. When the camera
recognizes more than one face, tap a face framed by a single
border to move the focus area to that face.
