Pushing the Shutter Button

Grasp the grip on the camera firmly and use the flat of your finger (not your fingertip) to

press the shutter button gently. Applying too much pressure could cause camera shake

and spoil your shot by blurring the image. The shutter is released in two steps, first with a

half-press and second with a full-press.

Time between full-press shutter release and the start of exposure

After you full press the shutter button, the shutter actually releases after 60ms. However, when the

monitor is used to compose and shoot a picture, the time between a full shutter press and actual

release time could vary from 60ms to 100ms.

Also, please remember that when you use the flash, shutter release will be delayed approximately

200ms for firing the pre-flash.

The camera can be set to emit a sound at shutter release. (➞ 122)

A half-press does not release the shutter.

When you half-press the shutter button,

automatic focusing and exposure adjustment

begins. The AF correct mark in the lower left

corner of the viewfinder lights when the

subject is in focus. As long as you keep the

shutter button depressed half way, the subject

will remain in focus and the exposure will not

change. This is called AF/AE lock.
