TAKING PICTURES (AUTO MODE)

shot so that the subject fills the entire AF (Auto

If your subject is not in the center of the picture, use
AF/AE lock to take the picture(

For dimly lit scenes where the subject is difficult to see
in the LCD monitor, you should use the viewfinder.
When you are using the viewfinder to take a
picture at a distance of 0.8 m to 1.5 m (2.6 ft. to
4.8 ft.), only the shaded area in the figure is
photographed.
