Been wondering if I should post this at photography section.

I'm thinking that how do I create a picture of someone which the background of the image is in .PNG

Does that make sense? Do I do this in my camera settings? or Crop it?

If crop, could you provide a nice easy tutorial link? Thanks. Else, if camera settings, could you also briefly explain about it?


Thanks again.

:)

Are you asking how to remove the background and retain the subject? If so you would do this in image editing software and not the camera. What software do you have available? (Photoshop is probably the most used app for that type of task)
If at first you don't succeed F1... If that doesn't work try Google!
