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, a yellow
double border (focus area) will be displayed
around that face.
When the camera detects more than one face, a
double border will be displayed around the face
closest to the camera, and single borders around
the others.
When shooting pictures of subjects other than people, or framing a subject with which
no face is recognized, the camera automatically selects the focus area (one of nine)
containing the subject closest to the camera when the shutter-release button is pressed
halfway. When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the focus area at which
focus has been acquired will be displayed.
Touch AF/AE
Tap a subject in the monitor to select the focus
area at which the camera should focus and set
the exposure.
• u or a double border will be displayed at
the position tapped.
• To disable the focus area applied using the
touch AF/AE function, tap h.
• If a position at which focus cannot be
acquired is tapped,
X will be displayed in
the monitor. Tap another position within X.
