The Basics of Shooting and Playback Step 3 Frame a Picture 1 Hold the camera steady. • Keep fingers, hair, the camera strap, 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 flash is above the lens. 2 Frame the picture. • When the camera detects a human face, that face is framed by a yellow double border (focus area) (default setting). • Up to 12 faces can be detected. When the camera 29m 0s detects more than one face, the face closest to the 760 camera is framed by a double border and the others by single borders. • When shooting non-human subjects or when no faces are detected, the focus area is not displayed. Position the main subject near the center of the frame. C When Using a Tripod • We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera in the following situations. - When shooting in dimly lit conditions with the flash mode (A 57) is set to W (off) - When zooming in on the subject • Set Vibration reduction to Off in the setup menu (A 88) when using a tripod to stabilize the 26 camera during shooting.
