Shutter Button

The shutter button has two steps. You can press the shutter button halfway. Then you can

further press the shutter button completely.

Pressing halfway

This activates autofocusing and the automatic exposure system that sets the shutter speed

and aperture value.

The exposure value (shutter speed and aperture value) is displayed on the screen, in the

viewfinder, or on the LCD panel for 8 sec. (metering timer/ ).

Pressing completely

This releases the shutter and takes the picture.

Preventing camera shake

Hand-held camera movement during the moment of exposure is called camera shake. It

can cause blurred pictures. To prevent camera shake, note the following:

• Hold the camera still, as shown in Holding the Camera.

• Press the shutter button halfway to autofocus, then slowly press the shutter button

completely.
