Using the framing marks to take pictures

Framing marks indicate the camera focus area. In Smart Capture mode (and in SCN modes designed for pictures of people), the camera attempts to focus on faces.

		2. Press the Shutter button completely down to take the picture.

NOTE:

Framing marks do not appear in all modes. Multiple framing marks may appear when faces are detected.
