Step 2 Frame a Picture
1 Ready the camera.
Hold the camera steadily in both hands, keeping your
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.
At the default settings, a face recognized by the camera
will be framed by a yellow double border (focus area).
Up to 12 faces can be recognized. If more than one face is
recognized, 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 recognized, a focus area will not be displayed.
Frame the picture so that the intended subject is at or near the center of the frame.
