Pushing The Shutter Button - Olympus CAMEDIA E 10 Instructions Manual

Pushing the Shutter Button

Grasp the grip on the camera firmly and use the flat of your finger (not your fingertip) to
press the shutter button gently. Applying too much pressure could cause camera shake
and spoil your shot by blurring the image. The shutter is released in two steps, first with a
half-press and second with a full-press.
Half-press
(gently pressing the button down half-way)
A half-press does not release the shutter.
When you half-press the shutter button,
automatic focusing and exposure adjustment
begins. The AF correct mark in the lower left
corner of the viewfinder lights when the
subject is in focus. As long as you keep the
shutter button depressed half way, the subject
will remain in focus and the exposure will not
change. This is called AF/AE lock.
Time between full-press shutter release and the start of exposure
After you full press the shutter button, the shutter actually releases after 60ms. However, when the
monitor is used to compose and shoot a picture, the time between a full shutter press and actual
release time could vary from 60ms to 100ms.
Also, please remember that when you use the flash, shutter release will be delayed approximately
200ms for firing the pre-flash.
The camera can be set to emit a sound at shutter release. (
