Step 3 Frame a Picture
1
Hold the camera steadily in both hands.
• Keep fingers and other objects away from the lens,
flash, AF assist-illuminator, microphone, and speaker.
• When taking pictures in portrait (“tall”) orientation, turn
the camera so that the built-in 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
a single border.
• 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.

Using a Tripod
We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera when shooting in the following situations:
- When shooting in dim lighting or when the flash mode (
A56) is set to c (Off).
- When using the telephoto setting.
