Basic Steps for Shooting and Playback

1Hold the camera steadily in both hands.

•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

•When the camera detects a face, that face will be

framed by a yellow double border (focus area) (default setting).

• Up to 12 faces can be detected. If more than one face is detected, the face closest to the camera will be framed by a double border, and the others by a single border.

• 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.

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 (A51) is set to W(Off).

26 • When zooming in on the subject.
