Step 2 Frame a Picture
1 Ready the camera.
Hold the camera steadily in both hands, keeping your
fingers and other objects away from the lens, flash, self-
timer lamp and microphone.
When taking pictures in “tall” orientation, turn the camera
so that the flash is above the lens.
2 Frame the picture.
When the camera determines the scene mode, the
shooting mode icon will change (A 26).
When the camera detects a human face, that face will be
framed by a yellow double border.
Up to 12 faces can be recognized. If more than one face is
recognized, the face closest to the camera will be framed
in the focus area by a double border, and the other faces
will be framed by a single border.
When shooting non-human subjects or when no faces are detected, focus will be in the
center of the monitor. Position the main subject near the center of the monitor.
