Basic Zone Modes

Just select a shooting mode suiting the target subject, and you can easily obtain the best results.

This mode blurs the background to make the human subject stand out.

Holding down the shutter button executes continuous shooting.

To increase the background blur, use a telephoto lens and fill the frame with the subject from the waist up. Or have the subject stand farther away from the background.
