[TriLUG] Digital Cameras

[Christopher L Merrill]

Steve,

See the comments from the others.  This is the designed operation.
It happens on all the cameras I evaluated.  The half-pressing technique
is the recommended way to work. In addition, it allows you to confirm
(on screen) that the camera picked the right spot in the picture for
measuring the focus and exposure.

Once you learn to use it right, you won't miss many pictures.
