How the Shutter Button Works
The EOS camera's shutter button can be depressed halfway or all the way.
There is a click stop at the halfway point.
Pressing the Shutter Button Halfway or Completely
The shutter button works as described below.
When it is pressed halfway:
• Autofocusing is activated, and when
focus is achieved, the focusing point
flashes and the beeper sounds. The
in-focus indicator < • > on the
viewfinder's lower right also lights.
• Also, the shutter speed and aperture
are set and displayed on the LCD
panel and in the viewfinder.
When it is pressed completely:
• The shutter is released to take the
picture and the film advances by one
frame.
Q • Camera movement during the moment of exposure is called camera shake.
Camera shake can cause blurred pictures. To prevent blurred pictures due to
camera shake:
■ Hold the camera steady (see page 26).
• Use the center of your finger to touch the shutter button, grasp the camera
with your entire right hand, then press the shutter button gently.
• If the AF Mode Dial has been set to < servo>, the in-focus indicator <#> will
not light.
• If the AF Mode Dial has been set to < servo > and automatic focusing point
selection is set (—>page 45). the focusing point will not flash in red.
