Framing Assist
Portrait Assist
(portrait assist) mode helps you frame por-
traits in which the main subject stands out clearly
while background details are softened, lending
the composition a sense of depth (the degree of
softening depends on the amount of light avail-
able). A framing assist menu helps you frame
off-center subjects and compose tall or wide
shots and two-person portraits.
