Step 3 Focus and Shoot

1
Press the shutter-release button halfway.
When people's faces (front view) are recognized:
Camera will focus on the face surrounded by the double-
border active focus area. When the subject is in focus, the
double border glows green.
When shooting non-human subjects or when no faces
are recognized:
Camera automatically selects the focus area (one of nine)
containing the subject closest to the camera. When the
subject is in focus, the active focus area glows green.
When digital zoom is in effect and the camera is focused on the center of the screen, the
focus indicator (A 6) glows green. The active focus area is not displayed.
When you press the shutter-release button halfway, the shutter speed and aperture
values also appear.
Focus and exposure remain locked while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
While the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the double border for face
recognition may blink, or the focus area or focus indicator may blink red. All of these
cases indicate that the camera is not focused. Change the composition and try pressing
the shutter-release button halfway again.
See "AF Area Mode" (A 82) or "Face Priority" (A 84) for more information about Face
Priority.
