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 and
self-timer lamp.
When taking pictures in “tall” orientation, turn the camera
so that the built-in flash is above the lens.
2 Frame the picture.
When the camera recognizes a face (front view), that face
will be framed by a yellow double border (by default). If
more than one face is recognized, the face nearest to the
camera will be framed by a double border and the rest by
a single border.
Focus area will not appear when shooting non-human
subjects or when no faces are recognized.
Using the Zoom
Use the zoom buttons to activate optical zoom. Press
f (h) to zoom out, increasing the area visible in the
frame, or g (i) to zoom in so that the subject fills a
larger area of the frame.
