Half-pressing the shutter release starts the cameras autofocus,
once complete it locks along with metering system. In wide-AF mode
(as above) the red rectangle indicates one of three positions which
the AF system has automatically selected as the focus point. If
the camera can't focus it will show a red dot. The hand-shake icon
indicates a slow shutter speed and that the image may suffer from
blur if not on a tripod / braced.

After fully depressing the shutter release a brief review (instant
playback) is shown (this can be set to 2, 10 seconds or disabled).

Pressing the QV/Delete button during this instant playback gives
you the option to delete the frame, alternatively you can half-press
the shutter release to clear the playback display (or wait 2 or
