SHUTTER RELEASE
The shutter release has two pressure points:
1. Pressing down to the 1st pressure point
– activates exposure metering and the viewfinder display
– saves the metered exposure value in aperture priority mode, i.e. the
shutter speed determined by the camera (for more details, refer to
the “Metering memory lock” section on p. 94)
If the shutter release is held at this pressure point, the display remains on. If
the camera was previously in standby mode, it will be reactivated and the
displays turned on.
If you let go of the shutter release, the metering system and the displays
remain activated for around a further 30s (for more details, refer to the
sections under “Exposure metering” starting on p. 92).
Note:
The shutter release button remains blocked
– if the internal buffer memory is (temporarily) full, e.g. after a series of
≥16 pictures, or
– if the memory card inserted and the internal buffer memory are
(temporarily) full, or
– if the battery has exceeded its performance limits (capacity, temperature,
age)
2. Pressing the shutter release button all the way down takes a picture.
The data is then transferred to the memory card.
Note:
To avoid wobble, the shutter release should be pressed gently, not jerkily,
until the shutter is released with a soft click.
