The Shutter-release Button
B Notes About Saving Images and Recording Movies
The indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator showing the maximum
movie length flashes while images are being saved or while a movie is being recorded. Do not open
the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or remove the batteries or memory card while
an indicator is flashing. Doing this could result in loss of data, or in damage to the camera or the
memory card.
Press halfway
To set focus and exposure (shutter speed and aperture value),
press the shutter-release button lightly until you feel a slight
resistance. Focus and exposure remain locked while the shutter-
release button is pressed halfway.
Press all the way
Press the shutter-release button all the way to release the shutter
and take an image.
Do not use force when pressing the shutter-release button, as
this may result in camera shake and blurred images. Press the
button gently.
