Step 3 Frame a Picture

Basic Steps for Shooting

1Hold the camera steadily in both hands.

• Keep fingers and other objects away from the lens, flash, AF-assist illuminator, and microphone.

•When taking pictures in portrait (“tall”) orientation,

turn the camera so that the built-in flash is above the lens.

2 Frame the picture. Shooting mode icon

and Playback

•When the camera automatically selects the optimum scene mode, the shooting mode icon will be changed (A36).

•When the camera detects a face, that face will be framed by a yellow double border (focus area). See “Face Detection” (A65) for more information.

•When taking pictures of subjects other than

people, or framing a subject with which no face is detected, a focus area will not be displayed. Frame the picture so that the intended subject is at or near the center of the frame.

BNotes on G (Easy Auto) Mode

•The desired scene mode may not be selected in certain condition. In this case, select another shooting mode.

•When digital zoom is in effect, shooting mode is G.

CUsing a Tripod

•We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera when shooting in the following situations:

-When shooting in dim lighting or when the flash mode (A55) is set to c(off).

-When using the telephoto setting.

•Set Vibration reduction in the setup menu (A88) to Off when using a tripod to stabilize the

26 camera.
