these lines, you can take pictures with
well-designed composition by viewing the size,
the slope and the balance of the subject.
A [ ]: This is used when dividing the entire screen into 3k3 for taking pictures with a
well-balanced composition.
B [ ]: This is used when you want to position the subject at the exact centre of the
screen.
