Basic Photography and Playback: G (Easy 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, AF-
assist 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.
When the camera automatically selects the optimum
scene mode, the shooting mode indicator will be
changed (A50).
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.
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 G (Easy Auto) Mode
• The desired scene mode may not be selected in certain condition. In this case, select another
shooting mode.
• When digital zoom is in effect, shooting mode is G.
