Taking pictures
This is how it works:
Autofocus photography
The shutter release operates
in two stages: Half
depressed, the camera will
start automatic focusing.
This always takes a second
or so (approx. 1.5 second for
a subject 3 m away).
Once the camera has
focused on your subject, a
green lamp will light beside
the viewfinder eyepiece
(focus indicator), and a short
beep will be heard.
Only now should you press
the shutter release fully for
exposure.

This is how it looks:
Mode dial set to Camera icon
This is what it's for:
Always wait for the green
light beside the viewfinder
to come on before pressing
the shutter release fully.
The beep may be disabled
via the Set menu (accessible
with the mode dial).
If your main subject is
off-center, lock focus on the
most important detail by
keeping the shutter release
pressed halfway. Then
recompose with the release
held in this position.
It is advisable to practice the
two-stage release of the
shutter.
For critical subjects you have
the additional option of
manual focusing as well as
the Macro mode.
