Landscape photography
requires a large depth of field to
make sure everything is in
focus. Landscape mode sets
the camera to obtain the
greatest depth of field possible,
while maintaining a shutter
speed fast enough to prevent
blur due to camera shake.

Tips:
• For best results use your lens in the mid-telephoto range
(56mm - 80mm).
• Use flash when your subject is backlit or there are strong
shadows across the face.
• Lock focus on your subject’s eyes and be ready to
capture the perfect expression.
Tips:
• Use a wide angle range lens to create a feeling of depth
in the picture.
• Use flash when a foreground subject is backlit or has
strong shadows across the face. If there is no subject in
the foreground do not use flash.
• Use a tripod, especially at slower shutter speeds.
