Super Macro
Portrait - optimized to reproduce warm, soft skin tones and a slight
defocusing of the background. Most portraits look best at a telepho-
to setting; the longer focal length does not exaggerate facial features
and the shallower depth of field softens the background. Use fill flash
with strong direct sunlight or backlight to reduce harsh shadows.
Sports action - used to capture action by maximizing shutter
speeds. When using flash, the subject must be within the flash range
(p. 29). A monopod is more flexible and compact than a tripod when
shooting events.
Landscape - optimized to produce sharp, colorful landscapes. Used
with bright outdoor scenery.
Sunset - optimized to reproduce rich, warm sunsets. When the sun
is above the horizon, do not point the camera toward the sun for pro-
longed periods of time. The intensity of the sun could damage the
CCD. Between exposures, turn off the camera or cover the lens.
