The Basics of Shooting and Playback

assist-illuminator, microphone, and speaker.
• When taking pictures in portrait (“tall”) orientation, turn the
camera so that the flash is above the lens.
2 Frame the picture.
• When the camera automatically determines the scene
mode, the shooting mode icon changes (A32).
