Scene
Position the main subject at the intersection of two lines in this
frame or align one of the horizontal lines with the horizon. Use
this frame as a guide to the subject’s size and the balance of
the shot while composing a shot.
●
!
The framing guideline is not recorded on the image.
●
!
The lines in the scene frame divide the image into 3 roughly equal parts
horizontally and vertically. The resulting printed image may be shifted
slightly from the scene frame.
USING AF/AE LOCK
In this shot, the subjects (two people in this case)
are not in the AF frame. Taking the picture at this
point will result in the subjects being out of focus.
Move the camera slightly so that one of the
subjects is in the AF frame.
Press the shutter button down halfway (AF/AE
lock). When a short double-beep is heard, the
camera focuses on your subject. The AF frame on
the screen becomes smaller. The indicator lamp
(green) changes from blinking to lit.
Continue to hold the shutter button down halfway.
Move the camera back to the original image and
press the shutter button fully.
