Operating the shutter release button
The shutter release button has two working positions.
Pressing it down halfway (first position) displays the indicators in the
viewfinder and the autofocus system operates. Pressing it fully
(second position) takes a picture.
• Press the shutter release button gently when taking a picture to prevent
camera shake.
• Practice pressing the shutter release button halfway/fully to learn
where the first position and second position are.
• The viewfinder indicators are displayed while the shutter release button
is pressed halfway. The indicators are displayed for about 10 seconds
(default setting) while the exposure metering timer is on after you take
your finger off the button. (p.35, p.118)
