Portrait Assist (portrait assist) mode is used to frame portraits in which the main subject stands out clearly while back- ground details are softened, lending the composition a sense of depth (the degree of softening depends on the amount of light available). A framing assist menu helps frame off-center subjects and compose tall or wide shots and two-person portraits. Off * Off PORTRAIT: No guides are displayed. Camera focuses on subject in center of frame. Portrait left: Compose shot with subject in left half of frame. Camera focuses on subject in framing guide. Portrait right: Compose shot with subject in right half of frame. Camera focuses on subject in framing guide. Portrait close-up: Compose shot with subject's face in top half of frame. Camera focuses on face area in framing guide. Portrait couple: Compose shot with two subjects side-by-side. Camera focuses on closest subject. Portrait figure: Compose shot with camera held as shown and subject's face in top half of frame. Camera focuses on face area in framing guide. Scene Mode Face-priority AF: Frame up to three subjects from waist up. Camera focuses until it detects face of portrait subject closest to camera. When face is detected, focus area will be displayed in red (see right). Focus area will turn green when shutter-release button is pressed halfway (if focus area stays red, lift finger from shutter-release button and try again). Note that the camera may be unable to detect faces if they are not facing camera, are hidden by sunglasses or other obstructions, or are too close or too far. If camera is unable to detect faces before shutter-release button is pressed halfway, it will focus on subject in center of frame. * Other modes can be selected. 24
