Step 2 Frame a Picture

Mode (Auto) APlayback: and Photography Basic

1Ready the camera.

Hold the camera steadily in both hands, keeping your fingers 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 built-in flash is above the lens.

2Frame the picture.

At the default settings, a face recognized by the camera will be framed by a yellow double border (focus area).

Up to 12 faces can be recognized. If more than one face is

 

recognized, 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 recognized, a focus area will not be displayed. Frame the picture so that the intended subject is at or near the center of the frame.
