The Basics of Shooting and Playback
Step 3 Frame a Picture
1 Ready the camera.
• Keep your fingers, hair, camera strap and other objects away from the lens, flash, AF-
assist illuminator and microphone.
• To shoot in the “tall” orientation, hold the camera so that the flash is above the lens.
2 Frame the picture.
• When the camera determines a scene mode, the
shooting mode icon changes (A26).
• When the camera detects a face, a yellow double
border (focus area) is displayed.
See “Using Face Detection” (A65) for more
information.
• When non-human subjects are photographed, or a subject with which no face can be
detected is framed, the focus area is not displayed. Position the main subject near the
center of the monitor.
B Notes on G (Easy Auto) Mode
• When the digital zoom is in effect, the shooting mode is set to U.
• Depending upon shooting conditions, the camera may not select the desired scene mode. In this
case, select another shooting mode.
C ISO Sensitivity
E (ISO sensitivity, A7) may be displayed on the shooting screen. When E is displayed, the ISO
sensitivity is automatically raised.
C Using a Tripod
• In the following situations, use of a tripod is recommended to stabilize the camera during
shooting and to avoid the effects of camera shake.
– When shooting in dark surroundings or when flash mode (A54) is set to W (off)
– When shooting at the telephoto zoom position
• To take a picture with the camera attached to a tripod, set Vibration reduction in the setup
menu (A94) to Off.
