Shutter-Release Button

The camera features a two-stage shutter-release button. To set focus and exposure, press the
shutter-release button halfway, stopping when you feel resistance. Focus and exposure lock
while the shutter-release button is held in this position. To release the shutter and take a pic-
ture, press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down. Do not use force when press-
ing the shutter-release button, as this may result in camera shake and blurred pictures.
