Pressing The Shutter Button - Canon IXUS 870 IS User Manual

Pressing the Shutter Button

The shutter button has two stops. To take images that are in focus, be sure
to first press the shutter button lightly (halfway) to focus, then take the shot.
Does the length of the shutter sound change?
•
Since the time required to shoot differs depending on the scene you want to
shoot, the length of the shutter sound may change.
•
If the camera or subject move while the shutter sound is playing, the recorded
image may be blurry.
If you just press the shutter button fully without pausing halfway, the
images you take may not be in focus.
