Notes on Touch Shutter
• When taking pictures with
Continuous
or
BSS
in
Continuous
setting (
A
53) enabled, or in
Sports
or
Museum
scene mode (
A
59), use the shutter-release button to take pictures. Only
one picture can be taken at a time using the touch shutter function.
• Prevent shooting with accidental tapping of the monitor in
A
(auto) mode and some scene
modes by changing the touch shooting setting to
Touch AF/AE
(
A
37). At this setting, the
shutter is not released when the monitor is tapped.
• In some rare cases, shooting subjects with which autofocus may not perform as expected, the
subject may not be in focus (
A
31).
• When a subject displayed in the monitor is tapped with the self-timer (
A
44) enabled, the
camera locks focus and releases the shutter after ten or two seconds.
