Without moving the camera, press the shutter
button down halfway (AF/AE lock). Focusing is
complete when the AF frame on the LCD monitor
shrinks and the viewfinder lamp (green) stops
blinking and remains lit.
Continue to hold the shutter button down halfway

image and then fully press down on the shutter

settings are fixed (AF/AE lock). If you want to focus on a subject that is off to one side of the image or if

Standard number of shots per xD-Picture Card
The table below shows the standard number of available shots for a new xD-Picture Card formatted on the camera. The
larger the xD-Picture Card capacity, the greater the divergence between the actual number of available shots and the
number shown here. Also, because the amount of data recorded for a shot varies depending on the subject, in some cases
the number of shots may decrease by 2 or may remain the same. As a result, the actual number of recordable shots may
either decrease or increase.
