Selecting Scene Mode: b Scene Mode

Scene Mode

The camera offers a choice of “assist” and “scene” modes. In these mode, camera settings are automatically optimized for the selected subject type.

Scene Assist Modes (four types)

Scene assist modes offer framing assist options to help you compose your shots.

BPortrait

Use for portraits. The main subject stands out clearly while the background details are softened, lending a sense of depth to the composition.

ELandscape

Use for vivid landscape shots that enhance outlines, colors, and contrast in such subjects as skyscapes and forests.

PSports

Fast shutter speeds freeze fast-moving subjects for dynamic sports scenes.

DNight portrait

Use for a natural balance between the main subject and background lighting in portraits shot taken at night.

Scene Modes (eleven types)

Scene modes allow you to take pictures optimized for a particular subject type by simply choosing a scene mode and pressing the shutter-release but- ton.
