1
Ready the camera.
• Keep your fingers, hair, camera strap and other objects away from the lens, flash, AF-
assist illuminator and microphone.
• To shoot in the “tall” orientation, hold the camera so that the flash is above the lens.

Frame the picture.
• When the camera determines a scene mode, the
shooting mode icon changes ( A26).
• When the camera detects a face, a yellow double
border (focus area) is displayed.
See “Using Face Detection” (

information.
• When non-human subjects are photographed, or a subject with which no face can be
detected is framed, the focus area is not displayed. Position the main subject near the
center of the monitor.
