Scene Mode
Portrait Assist
(portrait assist) mode helps you frame portraits in
which the main subject stands out clearly while back-
ground details are softened. This lends the composi-
tion a sense of depth (the degree of softening
depends on the amount of light available). A framing
assist menu helps you frame off-center subjects and
compose tall or wide shots and two-person portraits.
Rotate the mode dial to and press the MENU button ( 28).
