(Half-press)
When you press the shutter release button halfway (half-press), the
autofocus function is triggered to determine the focal distance.
Subsequently press it all the way down (full-press) to shoot.
This is useful when the subject is not in the middle (see P.28).
1.
Make sure the power is on, then
turn the Mode Dial to 5
For how to turn the power on, see P.21.
2.
Compose your shot either by
looking through the Viewfinder or
at the LCD Monitor.
3.
Since the focus is adjusted at the
center of the screen, position the
subject at the center of the screen
and half-press the shutter.
Once focused, the exposure and white
balance are fixed.
If the automatic focusing fails, the
crosshairs in the center of the LCD
monitor turn red and the auto-focus
lamp in the upper left of the viewfinder
blinks in green.
