Solution
If the shutter button is pressed halfway when [Quick AF] has been selected as the AF mode during Live View shooting, the Live View image disappears momentarily and the mirror goes down while the camera focuses. The image has still not been recorded at this point.
When the Live View image appears again, press the shutter button all the way down to capture the image.
Instructions for shooting in [Quick AF] mode are shown below.
1. Set the Live View shooting/Movie shooting switch to <

Hold the shutter button halfway down until the Live View image appears.
4. When the Live View image appears, check the focus and exposure, then press the shutter button all the way down to capture the image.
