Step 3 Frame a Picture

1Hold the camera steady.

Keep fingers, hair, the camera strap, and other objects away from the lens, flash, AF assist-illuminator, microphone, and speaker.

When taking pictures in portrait (“tall”) orientation, turn the camera so that the flash is above the lens.

The Basics of Shooting and Playback

2Frame the picture.

When the camera detects a human face, that face is framed by a yellow double border (focus area) (default 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 single borders.

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.

-When shooting in dimly lit conditions with the flash mode (A 57) is set to W (off)

-When zooming in on the subject

Set Vibration reduction to Off in the setup menu (A 88) when using a tripod to stabilize the
