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 built- in flash and AF-assist illuminator turn off automatically. Use of a tripod is recommended to prevent blur when lighting is poor.
