Step 2 Frame a Picture
1
Ready the camera.
Hold the camera steadily in both hands. Do not hold the
flash down with your fingers or other objects.
Keep fingers, hair and other objects away from the lens,
flash, AF assist-illuminator and microphone.
When 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.
