Using the framing marks to take pictures

Framing marks indicate the camera focus area. The camera attempts to focus on foreground subjects, even if they're not centered in the scene.

  1. Press the Shutter button halfway.

    When the subject is in focus, the framing marks turn green. If the camera is not focusing on the desired subject (or if the framing marks disappear), release the Shutter button and recompose the scene.

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

NOTE: Framing marks do not appear in some SCN (scene) and Video modes. When you use AF Zone and set Center Zone, the framing marks are fixed at Center Wide.
