1Ready the camera.

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

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

Basic Photography and Playback: Auto Mode

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.

Focus area will not appear when shooting non-human subjects or when no faces are recognized.
