Shooting Still Images
When taking still images, Shooting Mode is
usually used.
There are two methods of using the shutter
button, pressing the shutter in two stages
(half-press) and pressing it all the way down
at once (full-press).
When you use half-press, you can confirm
that your shot is in focus on the LCD Monitor.
When you want to capture the moment, full-
press is convenient.
• When shooting in Aperture Priority/Manual
Exposure Mode, the f-number (aperture
value) and shutter speed remain displayed
in the bottom part on the screen. According
to the f-number, the shutter speed is deter-
mined for shooting.
• In Aperture Priority/Manual Exposure
Mode, you can also set the shutter speed
manually for shooting (Manual Exposure
Mode).
• For how to shoot with Zoom, see P.46
• For how to shoot Close-ups, see P.48.
• For how to shoot with Aperture Priority/
Manual Exposure Mode, see P.55.
Checking the Focus and Shooting
(Half-press)
1. Turn the mode dial to 5
55
5 (Shoot-
ing Mode) or A/M (Aperture Pri-
ority/Manual Exposure Mode).
2. Compose your shot either by
looking through the Viewfinder
or at the LCD Monitor.
3. Put the subject of your photo
right in the center and press the
shutter button half-way.
The f-stop (aperture size) and shutter
speed are displayed in the bottom part of
the screen, and the camera focuses.
Once the shot is in focus, the exposure
and white balance are fixed and the
crosshair in the center of the LCD Moni-
tor turns green, as does the auto-focus
lamp in the lower left of the Viewfinder.
Check one of these to make sure the
subject is in focus.
4. Gently press the shutter button
all the way.
The still image you have taken freezes
for a moment on the LCD Monitor and is
recorded.
• To prevent blurring, press the shutter
release button gently.
• The mark indicates that blurring may
occur. Secure the camera firmly and adjust
the focus again.
• When shooting in a dark place, the AF aux-
iliary lamp may flash to raise the focusing
performance. If the flash is switched to off,
the AF auxiliary lamp does not flash.
• When the image confirmation time is set to
OFF, the still image you have taken does
not appear on the LCD Monitor. See P.115.
