Taking Still Pictures

The Optio VS20 features a wide range of shooting modes and functions

to suit almost any subject or scene. This chapter describes how to take

pictures with the most commonly used standard settings (the factory

default settings).

Press the power switch.

The camera turns on and is ready to take still pictures. In this manual,
this is called Still Picture Capture Mode.

Confirm the subject and shooting

information on the display.

The focus frame in the middle of the display
indicates the zone of automatic focusing.

When the camera detects a face, the Face
Detection function is activated and the face
detection frame appears (p.69).
