TOUCH SENSOR (TOUCH FOCUS) 
SETTING
The touch sensor function, by which the autofocus is activated by a finger-
touch on the shutter button, can be set to ON or OFF. When the touch sensor 
function is set to OFF, the autofocus is activated when you press the shutter 
button halfway; then gently press the shutter button to snap the picture.

CAUTION
iWhen the camera is attached to a tripod, the touch sensor sensibility may 
be diminished. This happens because the touch sensor works by detecting 
changes in the capacitance when the camera is touched with bare hands. 
The touch sensor sensibility will also be diminished, for example, if you 
hold the camera with gloved hands.
iWhen the camera is used near inverter-type fluorescent lights, the touch 
sensor sensitivity may be diminished.#: The touch sensor function is set to 
ON.
$: The touch sensor function is set to 
OFF.
