The Basics of Shooting and Playback
Step 2 Frame a Picture
1 Hold the camera steady.
• Keep fingers, hair, the camera strap, and other objects away
from the lens, flash, AF assist-illuminator (L26 only), and
microphone.
• When taking pictures in portrait (“tall”) orientation, turn the
camera so that the flash is above the lens.
2 Frame the picture.
• When the camera determines the scene mode, the
shooting mode icon will change (A 34).
• When the camera detects a human face, that face is framed
by a yellow double border (focus area).
• When shooting non-human subjects or when no faces are
detected, the camera focuses on the subject in the center
of the frame. Position the main subject near the center of
the frame.
