Setting tips
When shooting a three-
quarter-view portrait with
different distances between
the camera and each of the
subject's eyes, use Eye AF
function that automatically
focuses on the closer eye.
To capture a portrait with defocused
background for a soft mood, shoot
using a telephoto lens and an aper-
ture value that is as small as possible.
Setting the mode dial to A (Aperture
Priority) allows you to freely adjust the
aperture value (P.32).

When shooting a stationary person, set Focus
Mode to AF-S, which emits two short beeps
(when Audio signals is set to On) to notify you
when the subject is in focus. Basically, the face
(the eyes, if possible) should be in focus when
you shoot a portrait, so select Wide for Focus
Area and On for Face Detection. Eye AF func-
tion (P.34) also comes in handy.
