Step 3 Focus and Shoot

1
Press the shutter-release button halfway.
When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway
(A 7), the camera sets focus and exposure (shutter
speed and aperture value).
Focus and exposure remain locked while the shutter-
release button is pressed halfway.
When a face is detected, it is framed by the double
border indicating the active focus area. When the subject
is in focus, the double border turns green.
If the camera does not detect any faces, the camera
selects the focus areas (up to nine areas) containing the
subject closest to the camera. When the subject is in
focus, the focus area that is selected is displayed in green.
When digital zoom is used, the focus area is not displayed
and the camera focuses at the center of the frame. Once
focus has been acquired, the focus indicator will glow
green.
If the focus area or the focus indicator blinks red when
the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the camera is unable to focus. Modify the
composition and press the shutter-release button halfway again.
2
Press the shutter-release button the rest of
the way down.
The shutter is released and the image will be saved to the
memory card or internal memory.
