Creative Photography (Scene Modes)
The camera offers a choice of “scene” modes.
Choosing a scene
mode automatically optimizes settings to suit the selected scene,
making creative photography as simple as selecting a mode, framing
a picture, and shooting as described on pages 22–24.
The following scenes can be selected with the mode
dial:
k Portrait
Use for portraits with soft, natural-looking
skin tones. If the subject is far from the
background or a telephoto lens is used,
background details will be softened to
lend the composition a sense of depth.
l Landscape
Use for vivid landscape shots in daylight.
The built-in flash and AF-assist illuminator
turn off; use of a tripod is recommended to
prevent blur when lighting is poor.
p Child
Use for snapshots of children. Clothing
and background details are vividly
rendered, while skin tones remain soft and
natural.
