SUBJECT PROGRAMS
Subject programs optimize the camera system for specific
conditions or subjects. Five subject programs are available.
Portrait - optimized to create sharp images of the subject
with a soft background. Most portraits look best at a
telephoto setting; the long focal length does not exaggerate
facial features and the shallow depth of field separates the
subject from the background. Use fill flash (p. 24) with
strong direct sunlight or backlight to reduce harsh
shadows.
Landscape - optimized to create sharp landscape
photographs, while maintaining a shutter speed fast
enough to prevent blurring from camera shake. For best
results zoom to a wide-angle setting or use a wide-angle
lens. Include a foreground subject or detail to create a
feeling of depth in the picture.
When taking a portrait within a landscape, use fill flash (p.
24) with strong direct sunlight or backlight to reduce harsh
shadows, see flash range on page 25. The flash will have
no effect on the landscape. The use of a tripod is
recommended.
Turn the function dial (1) to the
full-auto / subject program
position.
Press and hold the function
button (2) and turn the control
dial (3) to select the appropriate
program; the active program is
indicated with the pointer on the
data panel. The subject
program is reset when the
camera is turned off.
