When shooting food, use <P> (Food). The photo will look bright and vivid.
Change the color tone.
You can change [Color tone]. Food
photos with a reddish tinge usually make
the food look more vivid. To increase the
food’s reddish tinge, set it toward
[Warm]. Set it toward [Cool] if it looks too
red.
Shoot the subject in close-up.
If you have a zoom lens, use the telephoto end to shoot the food in close-
up.
Light the subject diagonally from behind.
Lighting the food diagonally from behind will make it look more three-
dimensional in the photo.
Avoid using flash.
If you use flash, the light may reflect off the dish or food and results in
unnatural shadows.

Shooting Tips
Since this mode sets the color tone to make food look vivid, human subjects
may be shot in an unsuitable skin tone.
If you use flash, the [Color tone] setting will switch to the default setting.
