Step 2 Frame a Picture
1 Use both hands and ready the camera.
Keep fingers, hair, the camera strap, and other objects
away from the lens, flash, AF assist-illuminator,
microphone, and speaker.
When using the flash (A 32) while taking pictures in
portrait (tall) orientation, turn the camera so that the flash
is above the lens.
2 Frame the picture.
When the camera detects a human face, that face is
framed by a yellow double border (focus area) (default
setting).
Up to 12 faces can be detected. When the camera
detects more than one face, the face closest to the
camera is framed by a double border and the others by
single borders.
When shooting non-human subjects or when no faces are detected, the focus area is
not displayed. Position the main subject near the center of the frame.
