Taking focused pictures

		To get clear, focused pictures:

		3. Press the Shutter button halfway to focus and set exposure. When the framing marks turn green, press the Shutter button completely down.

Using framing marks

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.

		1. Press the Shutter button halfway. If the camera is not focusing on the desired subject, 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 all modes. Multiple framing marks may appear when faces are detected. When you press the Shutter button halfway down, the framing marks attempt to follow the main subject.

Reviewing the picture/video just taken

After you take a picture/video, the LCD displays a quickview for approximately 5 seconds. (To exit the quickview sooner, press the Shutter button halfway.)

To review pictures/videos anytime, see Reviewing pictures/videos.
