To shoot the subject as large as possible, position it so that its entire portion is seen on the LCD monitor.

The camera may fail to recognize the subject in the following cases:

When the image is out of focus

When four edges of the subject are dim

When it is hard to distinguish between the subject and background

When the background is complicated

Two images, one before correction and the other after correction, are recorded. If the number of remaining shots is less than 2, you cannot shoot the subject.

If the camera fails in area detection, the image before correction remains recorded.
