Using Pre-composition Mode
When asking someone else to take images for you, but the images always don't come up right?
Pre-composition helps you get the background you want,
even if you need to ask someone else to record the image
for you.
Basically, Pre-composition is a two-step process.
1. Compose the background you want and press the Shutter
button (full press), which causes 1/3 of semi-transparent
image of the background to remain on the LCD monitor.
Press Menu button to cancel the semi-transparent
temporarily image.
2. Ask someone else to record a shot of you against your
original pre-composed background, telling him/her to
compose the image by using the 1/3 semi-transparent
screen image as a guide.
3. Move your position until photographer confirm your whole
or half body in the frame and in the right place.
4. Press the Shutter button. Camera stores the image
produced by this step only.
Using Love Portrait
Want to take a good image when there are just two of you? All you have to do is hold the camera and show
your smiles together.
If over two faces had been recognized, the camera performs 2-second countdown with a beep notice then
take a shot without pressing the Shutter button.
Using Self Portrait
When you are the one taking the picture for yourself, then self portrait mode is necessary besides the
tripod. With your long arm's help, the camera begin face tracking in self portrait mode. If a face had been
recognized, the camera performs 2-second countdown with a beep notice then take a shot without
pressing the Shutter button.

• Lean in towards the camera to reduce double chin.
• Angle your body and bend your arms to look slimmer.
