Step 2 Frame a Picture

1Ready the camera.

Hold the camera steadily in both hands, keeping your fingers and other objects away from the lens, flash, self- timer lamp and built-in microphone.

When taking pictures in “tall” orientation, turn the camera so that the built-in flash is above the lens.

2Frame the picture.

When the camera recognizes a face (front view), that face will be framed by a yellow double border (by default). If more than one face is recognized, the face nearest to the camera will be framed by a double border and the rest by a single border.

Up to five faces can be recognized.
