purchasing the Canon EOS M3 , I've been taking a lot of quick shots, and now I realize how convenient the touch shutter function is.
If you touch anywhere on the LCD screen, the shutter will be released the moment the image comes into focus.
Touch shutter function is very convenient
The three images below were taken in sequence using the touch shutter function, with the camera and subject fixed.
Each one is in focus.
You can take photos like this in just a few seconds.
I think that many digital cameras released in recent years are equipped with this function, but I thought it would be useful once again.
Touch shutter function button assignment
Although the touch shutter function is such a convenient feature, there are times when you may not want it to work.
At times like this, it's a hassle to go into the menu and switch between them, so I customized the buttons.
In my case, I rarely want to record videos in M/AV/TV/P mode, so I assigned touch shutter function ON/OFF to the record button. ↓
In addition to this, you can also customize the buttons in a variety of ways.
Afterword
It depends on what you want to photograph, but I think you can actively use the touch shutter function.
Beginners like me find it very convenient.
By the way, if you fix the focus using thumb AF, etc., the shutter may be released immediately by touching the LCD screen, and you may not be able to focus on a specific area, so I think you need to be careful about that.
