Landscape photography requires
a large depth-of-field to make
sure everything is in focus. In
Landscape mode, the camera is
set 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 zoom to a wide view or use a wide angle lens
and include a foreground subject or detail to create a feeling of
depth in the picture.
• Use flash when a subject in the foreground 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.
