Raitei May 19, 2013:
Composition is correct Although many of us have never heard it used in this context, composition 「構図」(as in "compose a photo) is a known photography term. However, this "determination of placement of subjects" LEGOみたいな直訳 has to go (AのBのCのDのEのFのG...)

English is English and Japanese is Japanese. Please don't become a slave of the patterns.

Composition, Shutter Speed and Automatic Exposure

構図 is how you put things into your picture frame, SS must be Shutter Speed and AE is the Automatic Exposure.

In Japanese, 構図 is a determination of placement of subjects within your picture frame. フレーミング in Japanese refer to a determination of angle (left/right/low/high) and distance (short/long) and it is part of 構図.

In English, a determination of placement of subjects is called “composition.” “Framing” has different meaning from its Japanese transliteration (フレーミング) as this English word refers to a technique of drawing attention to the particular subject within a picture frame by surround the subejct with something, hence framing.
