Shutter Button - Canon POWERSHOT G1X User Manual

To ensure your shots are in focus, always press the shutter button lightly
(halfway) initially. Once the subject is in focus, press the button all the way
down to shoot.
In this manual, shutter button operations are described as pressing the button
halfway or all the way down.
Press halfway. (Press lightly to
focus.)
Press the shutter button halfway. The camera
beeps twice, and AF frames are displayed
around image areas in focus.
Press all the way down. (From the
halfway position, press fully to
shoot.)
The camera shoots, as a shutter sound is
played.
Keep the camera still until the shutter sound
ends.
i_ Images may be out of focus if you shoot without initially pressing the
shutter button halfway.
Length of shutter sound playback varies depending on the time
required for the shot. It may take longer in some shooting scenes,
and images will be blurry if you move the camera (or the subject
moves) before the shutter sound ends.
