D Taking Pictures Using Touch Shooting Options
The shutter-release button can be used to focus and take pictures even
when the W icon is displayed to show that touch shooting options are
active. Touch shooting options can only be used to take pictures one at
a time and cannot be used for manual focus or to take photographs
during movie recording; for burst photography or to take photos
during movie recording, use the shutter-release button.
In cases in which the camera has detected an eye using eye detection
or animal eye-detection, the camera may fail to focus on the eye
selected using touch controls, in which case it may be necessary to use
the multi selector.
In self-timer mode, focus locks on the selected subject when you touch
the monitor and the number of shots currently selected in self-timer
mode will be taken starting about 10 seconds after you lift your finger
from the display.
