Setting Description

Landscape Use Landscape mode to capture scenes with deep perspective, such as mountains or city skylines, when you want the foreground and the background to be in focus. The camera combines a higher F-number for better depth of field with higher saturation for a more vivid effect.

Portrait Use Portrait mode for pictures that have one or more people as their primary subject. The camera combines a smaller F-number to blur the background, with lower sharpness for a more natural effect.

Sunset Use Sunset mode to capture outdoor scenes at sunset.

This mode starts the focus at infinity and sets the flash to Flash Off. This mode improves the saturation of sunset colors and retains the warmth of the scene with a bias towards the orange colors of the sunset.

If the shooting mode setting is anything other than the default Auto Mode setting, the icon for the setting will appear in the Live View screen. The new setting remains in effect until it is changed again or until the camera is turned off. The shooting mode setting resets to the default Auto Mode setting when you turn the camera off.
