and flash.
Portrait
Full-frame portraits of people. Subject is sharp and the
background is indistinct. Subject should be at least 6 ft (2 m)
away and fill the frame with a head and shoulders pose.
Night
Night scenes or low-light conditions. Place the camera on a
flat, steady surface or use a tripod. Due to slow shutter speeds,
advise people to stay still for a few seconds after the flash fires.

Auto-focus framing marks are not available in Landscape.
