Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips
If the shooting mode setting is anything other than the default
Auto Mode setting, the icon for the setting will appear in the
Live View screen. The new setting remains in effect until it is
changed again or until the camera is turned off. The
shooting mode setting resets to the default Auto Mode setting
when you turn the camera off.
Landscape
Use Landscape mode to capture scenes with deep
perspective, such as mountains or city skylines, when
you want the foreground and the background to be in
focus. The camera combines a higher F-number for
better depth of field with higher saturation for a more
vivid effect.
Portrait
Use Portrait mode for pictures that have one or more
people as their primary subject. The camera combines
a smaller F-number to blur the background, with lower
sharpness for a more natural effect.
Sunset Use Sunset mode to capture outdoor scenes at sunset.
This mode starts the focus at infinity and sets the flash
to Flash Off. This mode improves the saturation of
sunset colors and retains the warmth of the scene with
a bias towards the orange colors of the sunset.
