Basic Steps for Shooting and Playback
Step 3 Frame a Picture
1 Hold the camera steadily in both hands.
Keep fingers and other objects away from the lens,
flash, AF assist-illuminator, microphone, and speaker.
When taking pictures in portrait (“tall”) orientation, turn
the camera so that the built-in flash is above the lens.
2 Frame the picture.
When the camera detects a face, that face will be
framed by a yellow double border (focus area) (default
setting).
Up to 12 faces can be detected. If more than one face is
detected, the face closest to the camera will be framed
by a double border, and the others by a single border.
When taking pictures of subjects other than people, or
framing a subject with which no face is detected, a
focus area will not be displayed. Frame the picture so that the intended subject is at or
near the center of the frame.
C Using a Tripod
We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera when shooting in the following situations:
- When shooting in dim lighting or when the flash mode (A54) is set to W (Off).
- When using the telephoto setting.
Set Vibration reduction to Off in the setup menu (A86) when using a tripod to stabilize the
camera during shooting.
