Shutter Button
The shutter button is the purple button on top of the camera. You take
a picture by pressing the shutter button that is on top of the DC50 zoom
camera. When you lightly press the shutter button halfway down, the
exposure and focus are measured automatically (AE/AF).
When you press the shutter button all the way down, the image is
captured after the exposure and focus are measured. The numbers in
the Images Remaining and Images Taken Counters change, and the
captured image is stored on the memory card or in the camera’s
internal memory if there is no memory card in the camera.
No action occurs when you press the shutter button in the following cases:
– The camera does not have enough space to save captured images.
– The flash is required, but it is not charged.
– The camera is saving a captured image.
– The camera is copying images.
– The camera is erasing images.
– The camera is off.
– The camera is using the timer and is counting down to exposure.
– The zoom button is being pressed.
– The camera is in power save mode.
– The battery is empty.
If there is not enough space to store the captured image in the camera’s
internal memory or on a memory card, “FUL” appears in the Images
Remaining Counter.
