Shooting with touch operations (Touch Shutter)

The camera automatically focuses on the point you touch and shoots a still image.

Configure the settings as follows from MENU → (Setup) → [Touch Operation] in advance:

  • [Touch Operation]: [On]
  • [Shooting Screen] → [Shooting Screen]: [On]

  1. MENU → (Setup) → [Touch Operation] → [Shooting Screen] → [Touch Func. in Shooting] → [Touch Shutter].
  2. Touch the subject on which you would like to focus.

    The camera focuses on the subject you touched, and a still image is recorded.

Hint

  • If you set [Touch Func. in Shooting] to [Touch Shutter+AE], the brightness will be set according to the subject you touched.
  • You can operate the shooting functions below by touching the monitor:
    • Shooting burst images using the touch shutter
      When [Drive Mode] is set to [Cont. Shooting], you can record burst images while touching the monitor.
    • Shooting continuous bracket images using the touch shutter
      The product shoots three images while automatically shifting the exposure from base, to darker, and then to lighter. When [Drive Mode] is set to [Cont. Bracket], keep touching the monitor until the shooting ends. After the recording you can select the image you prefer.
