Using Pre-composition Mode

When asking someone else to take images for you, but the images always don’t come up right?

Pre-composition helps you get the background you want, even if you need to ask someone else to record the image for you.

Basically, Pre-composition is a two-step process.

1.Compose the background you want and press the Shutter button (full press), which causes 1/3 of semi-transparent image of the background to remain on the LCD monitor.

Press Menu button to cancel the semi-transparent temporarily image.

2.Ask someone else to record a shot of you against your original pre-composed background, telling him/her to compose the image by using the 1/3 semi-transparent screen image as a guide.

3.Move your position until photographer confirm your whole or half body in the frame and in the right place.

4.Press the Shutter button. Camera stores the image produced by this step only.

Using Love Portrait

Want to take a good image when there are just two of you? All you have to do is hold the camera and show your smiles together.

If over two faces had been recognized, the camera performs 2-second countdown with a beep notice then take a shot without pressing the Shutter button.

Using Self Portrait

When you are the one taking the picture for yourself, then self portrait mode is necessary besides the tripod. With your long arm’s help, the camera begin face tracking in self portrait mode. If a face had been recognized, the camera performs 2-second countdown with a beep notice then take a shot without pressing the Shutter button.

Tips to make a great shape by self portrait photography:

•Lean in towards the camera to reduce double chin.

•Angle your body and bend your arms to look slimmer.

•Keep your shoulders back.
