The lines in the scene frame roughly divide
the recorded pixels into three equal parts
horizontally and vertically. When the image is
printed, the resulting print may be shifted
slightly from the scene frame.
Use this frame when you want to
position your main subject in
center of the frame or when you
want to align your shot with the
horizon.
This is the most effective frame
for monitoring the size and
balance of your subject when the
shot involves motion.
Use this frame when you are
shooting groups of 2 or more
people.
By composing the shot so that
your subjects are as large as
possible within the frame, the
photograph will clearly show their
facial expressions.
Use this frame for portrait
photography. Fit the subject’s face
into one of the 3 frames to shoot a
close-up portrait (large frame), a
head and shoulders shot (middle
frame), or a half-body shot (small
frame). Move at least 90 cm
away from the subject and take
the picture using the zoom.

◆Important◆

Always use the AF/AE lock to compose your picture.
Failing to use the AF/AE lock may result in the image
being out of focus.
