4.2 Take the picture
Gently press the shutter-release button the
rest of the way down to take the picture
(moving the camera while pressing the
shutter-release button can result in blurred
pictures). The AF-assist illuminator may
light or the flash may fire if the subject is
poorly lit (B 24–25).
D During Recording
While pictures are being recorded, a Q or q icon will blink in the monitor and a o
(wait) icon may be displayed. Opening the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover
or removing memory cards or batteries while the Q or q icon is blinking or the o icon
is displayed could affect pictures or damage the camera or card.
C The Shutter-Release Button
To set focus and exposure, press the shutter-release button about halfway, stopping
when you feel resistance. Focus and exposure lock while the shutter-release button is
held in this position. To release the shutter and take a picture, press the shutter-
release button down the rest of the way. Use a gentle touch; moving the camera
while pressing the shutter-release button can result in blurred pictures.
