Using the auto-focus framing marks (pictures)
When using the LCD screen as a viewfinder, framing marks indicate where the camera 
is focusing. For the best pictures, the camera attempts to focus on foreground 
subjects, even if the subjects are not centered in the scene. 
1Press the Shutter button halfway.
When the framing marks turn green, focus is accomplished.
2If the camera is not focusing on the desired subject (or if the framing marks 
disappear), release the Shutter button and recompose the scene.
3Press the Shutter button completely down to take the picture.
NOTE:  Framing marks do not appear in Landscape, Night Landscape, Fireworks, or Video mode. When you 
use Focus Zone (page 35) and set Center Zone, the framing marks are fixed at Center Wide.
