- If you press the shutter button halfway and (

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 (except during direct printing).
- Camera movement during the moment of exposure is called camera shake. To prevent camera shake, note the advice below. Also see Holding the Camera .
- Hold the camera steady.
- Put your finger tip on the shutter button, hold the camera with your right hand, then press the shutter button gently.
