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. Shooting mode icon • 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. 8m 0s • When taking pictures of subjects other than people, or 950 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.
