Taking Pictures
The shutter release button works in a two-step action as follows.
Press halfway
This refers to pressing the shutter release button gently to the first
position. This locks the focus setting and the exposure. The green focus
frame is displayed on the monitor when the shutter release button is
pressed halfway and the subject is in focus. If the subject is out of focus,
the white focus frame appears.
Press fully
This refers to pressing the shutter release button all the way down to the
fully depressed position. This takes a picture.
