Basic Photography and Playback: A (Auto) Mode 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, AFassist illuminator, and built-in microphone. When taking pictures in portrait ("tall") orientation, turn the camera so that the built-in flash is above the lens. 2 Frame the picture. A face detected by the camera will be framed by a yellow double border (focus area). 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. 3 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. B Notes on Tripod Use • When attaching the camera to a tripod, be careful not to open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover and tighten the tripod screw. • Set Vibration reduction (A 158) to Off when using a tripod to stabilize the camera during 28 shooting.
