Scene Mode

Portrait Assist

(portrait assist) mode is used to frame portraits in which the main subject stands out clearly while back- ground details are softened, lending the composition a sense of depth (the degree of softening depends on the amount of light available). A framing assist menu helps frame off-center subjects and compose tall or wide shots and two-person portraits.
