Notes About Touch Shutter
When a setting other than Single or Multi-shot 16 is selected for the Continuous setting
(E36), or in Sports scene mode (A32), use the shutter-release button to take images. Only one
image can be taken at a time using the touch shutter function.
Prevent shooting with accidental tapping of the monitor by changing the touch shooting setting
to Touch AF/AE (E33) (except in some scene modes). At this setting, the shutter is not released
when the monitor is tapped.
When shooting a subject that is not suitable for autofocus, the camera may not be able to focus
properly on the subject (A25).
When a subject displayed in the monitor is tapped with the self-timer (A46) enabled, the camera
locks focus and releases the shutter after 10 or 2 seconds.
This setting may not be available with some functions. See "Functions That Cannot Be Used
Simultaneously" (A55) for more information.
