Adjust settings to suit the subject or your creative intent.
Press d and adjust shooting menu settings (A 75).
Adjust the flash mode ( A 28), self-timer (A 30), focus mode (A 31), and exposure
compensation ( A 32) settings.

Frame the subject and take the picture.
When a face looking toward the camera is recognized,
the camera will focus on the face surrounded by a double
border by default.
When taking 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.
See AF area mode ( A 86) and “Shooting with Face-Priority” (A 87) for more
information about face priority.

Noise Reduction
When shooting under low lighting, processing to reduce noise may be performed automatically,
except when Continuous, BSS, or Multi-shot 16 is selected for Continuous, increasing the time
required to save pictures.

Note on P (Programmed Auto) Mode
When shooting poorly-lit subjects with Continuous, BSS, or Multi-shot 16 selected, slower shutter
speeds may not be available.
