Step 4 Focus And Shoot; Shutter-Release Button - Nikon COOLPIX S800c Reference Manual

Step 4 Focus and Shoot

1
Press the shutter-release button halfway
(i.e., press the button slightly until you
feel resistance).
When you press the shutter-release button
halfway, the camera sets the focus and exposure
(shutter speed and aperture value). Focus and
exposure remain locked while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
Once focus is acquired, the focus area glows
green. See "Focus Area" (A57) for more
information.
When digital zoom is used, the focus area is
not displayed and the camera focuses at the
center of the frame. Once focus is acquired,
the focus indicator (A6) glows green.
If the focus area or the focus indicator flashes
red when the shutter-release button is
pressed halfway, the camera is unable to focus. Modify the composition and press the
shutter-release button halfway again.
2
Press the shutter-release button all the way
(i.e., press the button the rest of the way
down).
The shutter is released and the image will be recorded
to the memory card or internal memory.
If you press the shutter-release button with too much force, the camera may shake,
causing images to be blurred. Press the button gently.
