Basic Steps for Shooting and Playback
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 detects a face, that face will be
framed by a yellow double border (focus area) (default
setting).
• 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.
C 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 (A54) is set to W (Off).
- When using the telephoto setting.
