1
Ready the camera.
Hold the camera steadily in both hands, keeping your
fingers and other objects away from the lens, flash and
self-timer lamp.
When taking pictures in “tall” orientation, turn the camera
so that the built-in flash is above the lens.

Frame the picture.
When the camera recognizes a face, a yellow
double border (focus area) will be displayed
around that face.
When the camera detects more than one face, a
double border will be displayed around the face
closest to the camera, and single borders around
the others.
When shooting pictures of subjects other than people, or framing a subject with which
no face is recognized, the camera automatically selects the focus area (one of nine)
containing the subject closest to the camera when the shutter-release button is pressed
halfway. When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the focus area at which
focus has been acquired will be displayed.
