The Optio S1 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).

shooting information on the

When the camera detects a person’s face,
the Face Detection function is activated and
the face detection frame appears (p.69).
You can change the captured area by
pressing the zoom button (p.73).
