Step 3 Frame a Picture
1
Hold the camera steadily in both hands.
• Keep 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.
2
Frame the picture.
• When the camera automatically selects the optimum
scene mode, the shooting mode icon will be changed
(
A 38).
• When the camera detects a face, that face will be
framed by a yellow double border (focus area).
• Up to 12 faces can be detected. If more than one face is
detected, 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 detected, a focus area will not be displayed. Frame the picture so that the
intended subject is at or near the center of the frame.

Note on G (Easy Auto) Mode
When digital zoom is in effect, shooting mode is G.

Using 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 ( A 55) is set to W (off), and when
telephoto shooting.
- When using the telephoto setting.
• Set Vibration reduction in the setup menu (A 98) to Off when using a tripod to stabilize the
camera.
