Not used an af compact before so seemed a bit weird after using af SLRs that focus on half shutter press.
I don't have the steadiest hands in the world, especially with small/light cameras, so wanted to check to see when the shutter actually fires. Generally I'll need to keep the camera steady longer I guess ?
Ste_S-
Yea, coming from an SLR it's a bit weird I agree.
You will figure out a way to hold those little & light things more steady; it's about resting your upper arms / elbows stadily on your torso, and a bit like cramping up your hands, concentrating on only moving that one finger that presses the shutter.
Well, you have to hold steady until you hear the motor advancing the film, basically.

This is pretty standard procedure with AF compacts.
What was your question again?
