Using Pre-composition Mode
Asking someone in the crowd to take a picture for you often leads to disappointment. Use this mode to
help improve the results.
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 photo 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 photo
produced by this step only.
