Nikon CP4200 manual Portrait Assist

Portrait Assist

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