Basic Photography and Playback: Auto Mode

Step 3 Focus and Shoot

1 Press the shutter-release button halfway.

When a face looking toward the camera is recognized:

Camera will focus on the face surrounded by the double

border active focus area. When the subject is in focus, the

double border glows green.

When shooting pictures of subjects other than people or

framing a subject with which no face is recognized:

Camera automatically selects the focus area (one of nine)

containing the subject closest to the camera. When the

subject is in focus, the active focus area glows green.

When digital zoom is used, the focus area is not displayed

and the camera focuses at the center of the frame. Once focus has been acquired, the

focus indicator (A 6) will glow green.

When you press the shutter-release button halfway, the shutter speed and aperture

values also appear.

Focus and exposure remain locked while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.

While the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the double border for face

recognition may blink, or the focus area or focus indicator may blink red. All of these

cases indicate that the camera does not focus. Change the composition and press the

shutter-release button halfway again.

See “AF Area Mode” (A 100) or “Face Priority” (A 102) for more information about

Face Priority.

2 Press the shutter-release button the rest of

the way down.

The shutter is released and the picture will be recorded to

the memory card or internal memory.
