LANDSCAPE – optimized to produce sharp, colorful landscapes. The flash will not fire in this mode when set to an autoflash mode (p. 30).

PORTRAIT – optimized to reproduce soft skin tones and a slight defocusing of the background.

•Most portraits look best at a telephoto setting; the longer focal length does not exaggerate facial features and the shallower depth of field softens the background. Use fill flash (p. 30) with strong direct sunlight to reduce harsh shadows.

NIGHT PORTRAIT – for deep, subtle night scenes. When used with fill-flash, the subject and background exposures are balanced.

•When taking pictures of a landscape at night, use a tripod to eliminate blurring from camera shake. To take portraits with night scenes, set the flash mode to fill-flash (p. 30). When taking portraits, ask your subject not to

move after the flash burst; the

shutter will still be open for the background exposure.

TEXT – for the crisp reproduction of black text on white backgrounds. The flash will not fire in this mode when set to an autoflash mode(p. 30).

•Use a tripod to eliminate camera shake and ensure the sharpest images.
