Shooting Particular Scenes
Basic Photography
D The Built-in Flash
If additional lighting is required for correct exposure in g, i, k, or l mode, the built-in flash will
pop up automatically when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, just as it does in e (auto)
mode (A 64). The flash mode can be changed (A 65).
h Landscape
Use for vivid landscape shots. The camera selects the focus point
containing the closest main subject; the built-in flash and AF-assist
illuminator turn off automatically.
i Child
Use for snapshots of children. Clothing and background details are
vividly rendered while skin tones are given a soft, natural finish.
The camera selects the focus point containing the closest main
subject.
j Sports
High shutter speeds freeze motion for dynamic sports shots in
which the main subject stands out clearly. The camera focuses
continuously while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway,
tracking the subject in the center focus point. If the subject leaves
the center focus point, the camera will continue to focus based on
information from the other focus points. The starting focus point
can be selected by pressing the multi selector left or right (A 59).
The built-in flash and AF-assist illuminator turn off automatically.
k Close Up
Use for close-up shots of flowers, insects, and other small objects.
The camera automatically focuses on the subject in the center
focus point; a different focus point can be selected by pressing the
multi selector left or right. Use of a tripod is recommended to
prevent blur.
l Night Portrait
Use for a natural balance between the main subject and the
background in portraits shot under low light. The camera selects
the focus point containing the closest main subject. Use of a
tripod is recommended to prevent blur.
