Landscape - focus is optimized for scenic pictures. The use of a tripod is recommended in in twilight or overcast conditions as shutter speeds can be long. The flash is canceled with this focus mode. Landscape can be used with the self-timer.

Shooting Tips

Camera shake is more noticeable with long exposures or close-up pictures. In these situations, place the camera on a tripod and make the exposure with the self-timer to prevent shaking the camera.
