setting).

 

 

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

•When shooting non-human subjects or when no faces

are detected, the focus area is not displayed. Position the main subject 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 (A56) is set to c(Off).

-When using the telephoto setting.

•Set Vibration reduction (A89) to Off in the setup menu when using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting.
