The Basics of Shooting and Playback
Step 3 Frame a Picture
1 Ready the camera.
Keep your fingers, hair, camera strap and other objects away from the lens, flash, AF-
assist illuminator and microphone.
To shoot in the “tall” orientation, hold the camera so that the flash is above the lens.
2 Frame the picture.
When the camera determines a scene mode, the
shooting mode icon changes (A26).
When the camera detects a face, a yellow double
border (focus area) is displayed.
See “Using Face Detection” (A65) for more
information.
When non-human subjects are photographed, or a subject with which no face can be
detected is framed, the focus area is not displayed. Position the main subject near the
center of the monitor.

case, select another shooting mode.
