PORTRAIT MODE

Portraits have the greatest impact when the subject is separated from the background. Portrait mode sets the camera to achieve this effect, leaving you free to capture the perfect expression.

Press the program-select button until the subject-

program pointer is under

.

Tips:

For best results use your lens in the mid-telephoto range (56mm - 80mm).

Use flash when your subject is backlit or there are strong shadows across the face.

Lock focus on your subject’s eyes and be ready to capture the perfect expression.

LANDSCAPE MODE

Landscape photography requires a large depth of field to make sure everything is in focus. Landscape mode sets the camera to obtain the greatest depth of field possible, while maintaining a shutter speed fast enough to prevent blur due to camera shake.

Press the program-select button until the subject-

program pointer is under

.

Tips:

Use a wide angle range lens to create a feeling of depth in the picture.

Use flash when a foreground subject is backlit or has strong shadows across the face. If there is no subject in the foreground do not use flash.

Use a tripod, especially at slower shutter speeds.
