How the shutter button operates on the EOS 1D Mark II, EOS 1D Mark II N, and EOS 1Ds Mark II.
Solution
The shutter button has two stages. You can press the shutter button halfway. Then you can further press the shutter button completely.

- Pressing halfway (
 )
This activates autofocusing (AF) and automatic exposure (AE) that sets the shutter speed and aperture.
The exposure setting (shutter speed and aperture) is displayed on the top LCD panel and in the viewfinder.

- If you press the shutter button halfway and (
 ) elapse, you must press it halfway again and wait a moment before pressing it completely to take a picture. If you press the shutter button completely without pressing it halfway first or if you press the shutter button halfway and then press it completely immediately, the camera will take a moment before it takes the picture.
- No matter what state the camera is in (image playback, menu operation, image recording, etc.), you can return to shooting instantly just by pressing the shutter button halfway.
