Nikon 25420 manual Child, Sports, Close Up, Night Portrait

Child

Use for snapshots of children. Clothing and background details are vividly rendered while skin tones are given a soft, natural finish. The camera selects the focus area containing the closest subject.

Sports

High shutter speeds freeze motion for dynamic sports shots in which the main subject stands out clearly. The camera focuses continuously while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, tracking the subject in the center focus area. If the subject leaves the center focus area, the camera will continue to focus based on

information from the other focus areas. The starting focus area can be selected with the multi selector. The built-in flash and AF-assist illuminator turn off automatically.

Close Up

Use for close-up shots of flowers, insects, and other small objects. The camera automatically focuses on the subject in the center focus area; other focus areas can be selected using the multi selec- tor. Use of a tripod is recommended to prevent blur.

Night Portrait

Use for a natural balance between the main subject and the back- ground in portraits taken under low light. The camera selects the focus area containing the closest subject. Use of a tripod is recom- mended to prevent blur.
