5 Take the picture.

• Compose the shot and press the shutter button fully.

• If you want to zoom, do it before focusing. Turning the zooming ring after achieving focus may throw off the focus.

• If the built-in flash’s pop-up operation is obstructed, the <r> icon will blink on the LCD panel. Press the shutter button halfway to resolve the problem.

• When focus is achieved, the autofocus and auto exposure setting will also be locked.

• If the focus confirmation light <n> blinks, the picture cannot be taken. (p.51)

• Out of the seven AF points, the one covering the closest subject is selected automatically to achieve focus.

• If multiple AF points flash in red simultaneously, it indicates that all those AF points have achieved focus.

• In the Basic Zone modes (except <I> <P> ), the built-in flash will pop up and fire automatically in low-light or backlit conditions. To retract the flash, push it back down.

Under low-light conditions, the built-in flash fires a brief burst of flashes when you press the shutter button halfway. This is to illuminate the subject to enable easier autofocusing.

• The AF-assist beam does not function in the <I> <P> modes.

• The built-in flash’s AF-assist beam is effective up to about 4 meters/13.1

feet.

• In the Creative Zone modes, if the built-in flash is popped up, the AF-assist light will emitted when necessary.
