The Basics of Shooting and Playback
The Shutter-release Button
Press halfway
To set focus and exposure (shutter speed and aperture value),
press the shutter-release button halfway, stopping when you feel
resistance. Focus and exposure remain locked while the shutter-
release button is pressed halfway.
Press all the way
While pressing the shutter-release button halfway, press the
shutter-release button the rest of the way down to release the
shutter and take a picture.
Do not use force when pressing the shutter-release button, as this
may result in camera shake and blurred images. Press the button
gently.
B Notes About Saving Data
After taking a picture or recording a movie, the number of exposures remaining or the remaining
recording time flashes while images or movies are being saved. Do not open the battery-
chamber/memory card slot cover while images or movies are being saved. Image and movie data
could be lost and the camera or memory card could be damaged.
