Basic
Just by touching the subject to focus, it will focus on the subject and take the picture
automatically.
1 Touch [ ] in recording mode.
•
Icon will change to [ ], and taking a picture with the
Touch Shutter function becomes possible.
2 Touch the subject you wish to focus on, and then
take a picture.
•
AF area with same function as [Ø] in AF mode is displayed
at the position you touch, and a picture is taken when it is
focused. (It cannot be set to edge of the screen.)
• If the histogram is displayed on top of the subject you want to
touch, touch the subject after first moving the histogram. (P67)
3 Touch [ ] to cancel the Touch Shutter function.
Note
•
If [FOCUS PRIORITY] is [ON], when the focus mode is set to [AFS] and the Touch Shutter fails,
AF area will disappear after turning red, and the picture will not be taken.
When set to [AFC], the picture will not be taken if the focus indication is flashing green, but if
the subject comes into focus while keeping touching the screen, the picture will be taken.
• It will not focus automatically when the camera is set to manual focus, so it will take a picture
without performing the focus function.
• Touching will perform the same action as pressing the shutter button, even during the Burst,
Auto Bracket, or self-timer modes.
• Measurement of brightness is performed on the spot touched when the [METERING MODE] is
set to [Ù]. (P131)
• The Touch Shutter function will not work in the following cases.
– During motion picture P mode
– In the LCD recording information display (P35)
In Programme AE mode, you can change the preset
aperture value and shutter speed without changing the
exposure. This is called Programme Shift.
You can make the background more blurred by
decreasing the aperture value or record a moving subject
more dynamically by slowing the shutter speed when
taking a picture in Programme AE mode.
1 Press the shutter button halfway and display the
aperture value and shutter speed value on the screen.
2 While the values are displayed (about 10 seconds), perform the Programme
Shift by rotating the rear dial.
•
It will switch between Programme Shift operation and Exposure Compensation operation (P73)
every time the rear dial is pressed while the values are displayed.
• Rotate the rear dial to display the [EXPO.METER] B. (P142)
• The Programme Shift indication A appears on the screen when Programme Shift is activated.
• To cancel Programme Shift, turn the camera off or rotate the rear dial until the Programme Shift
indication disappears.
