Basic Steps for Shooting and Playback

Step 3 Frame a Picture

1Hold the camera steadily in both hands.

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

When taking images in portrait (“tall”) orientation, turn

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

2 Frame the picture.

 

When the camera automatically selects the

 

optimum scene mode, the shooting mode

 

icon changes (A30).

 

When the camera detects a face, that face

 

will be framed by a yellow double border

[ 930]

(focus area). See “Face Detection” (A58) for

Shooting mode icon

more information.

When taking images of subjects other than

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