Frame the photograph.

Focus.
Press the shutter-release
button halfway to focus. If
the subject is poorly lit, the
flash may pop up (0 102)
and the AF-assist illumina-
tor (0 191) may light to
assist the focus operation.
If the camera is able to focus, the selected
focus area will be highlighted in green
and a beep will sound (a beep may not
sound if the subject is moving).
If the camera is unable to focus, the focus
area will be displayed in red.
Hold the camera securely with both
hands, being careful not to obstruct
the lens, AF-assist illuminator, or
microphone. Rotate the camera as
shown at lower right when taking pic-
tures in “tall” (portrait) orientation.
Shutter speeds slow when lighting is
poor; use of the built-in flash (0 102)
or a tripod is recommended.
Position your subject in the center of
the frame. At default settings, the
camera will automatically detect por-
trait subjects and position the focus
point accordingly (0 40).
