Creative Photography (Scene Modes)

The camera offers a choice of six “scene” modes. Selecting a program automatically optimizes settings to suit the selected scene, making creative photography as easy as rotating the mode dial.

kPortrait

Use for portraits with soft, natural-looking skin tones. If the subject is far from the background or a telephoto lens is used, background details will be softened to lend the composition a sense of depth.

lLandscape

Use for vivid landscape shots in daylight or at night. The builtin flash and AF-assist illuminator turn off automatically. Use of a tripod is recommended to prevent blur when lighting is poor.
