To press the shutter-release button "halfway" means to
press and hold the button at the point where you feel a
slight resistance.
Focus and exposure (shutter speed and f-number) are
set when you press the shutter-release button halfway.
Focus and exposure remain locked while the button is
pressed halfway.
The focus area varies depending on the shooting mode.
To press the shutter-release button "all the way" means to
press the button down completely.
The shutter is released when the shutter-release button
is pressed all the way.
Do not use force when pressing the shutter-release
button, as this may result in camera shake and blurred
images. Press the button gently.
