Press the shutter button down half way.
When the shutter button is half-pressed, auto focus
adjustment and auto exposure control are activated.
The exposure is a combination of aperture (light
quantity adjustment function) and shutter speed.
When the focus and exposure are locked to
appropriate values while the shutter button is half-
pressed, a high-pitched tone is produced and the
indicator lights green. If the focus or exposure could
not be set to a proper value, a low-pitched tone is
produced and the indicator flashes red. In this case,
the focus is locked to infinity (1.5 meters when using
the flash) and the exposure is locked to the closest
value.
4
From the half-pressed position,
press the shutter button further in.
The photo is taken.
If the shutter button is fully pressed at once without pausing at the half-pressed
position, the photograph is not taken until the focus and exposure are locked. We
recommend using the half-press function so as not to miss photo opportunities.

• The indicator lights red when data is recorded to the SD card. Never open the
Battery/SD card cover or remove the battery/SD card while the light is lit. This
might damage the SD card or important data in the SD card.
• If the auto mode switch is set, and some period of time elapses after you take
a photo and release your finger from the shutter button, photography mode
automatically switches to play mode. If you wish to continue photograping,
switch to photography mode.
