The focus frame (or face detection frame) on the display turns green
when the camera focuses on the subject at the correct distance.

Press the shutter release button fully.
The picture is taken.
The P (Portrait), C (Half-length Portrait) and L (Baby) modes are
suitable for taking pictures of people. The Face Detection function (p.70)
operates for each shooting mode, making it easier to emphasize the
subject’s face when taking pictures.

way controller (3).

Use the four-way controller (2345) to select P, C or

scenes.
• To prevent camera shake, set the Shake Reduction function to O (On)
(p.132) or use a tripod and/or the self-timer function (p.92).
