Portrait - optimized to reproduce warm, 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 with strong direct sunlight or backlight to reduce harsh shadows.
Sports action - used to capture action by maximizing shutter speeds. When using flash, the subject must be within the flash range (p. 29). A monopod is more flexible and compact than a tripod when shooting events.
Landscape - optimized to produce sharp, colorful landscapes. Used with bright outdoor scenery.
Sunset - optimized to reproduce rich, warm sunsets. When the sun is above the horizon, do not point the camera toward the sun for prolonged periods of time. The intensity of the sun could damage the CCD. Between exposures, turn off the camera or cover the lens.
