Guide Mode - The sure way to obtain desired results
An enchanting portrait against a softly defocused background, or a radiant
couple surrounded by sparkling lights. Taking photos like these is easy
with D3100’s Guide Mode — in-camera guidance that shows you step-by-
step how to change camera settings. Just select a Guide Mode setting that
matches the scene then let Guide Mode assist. Not only will you obtain the
desired results, you’ll understand how you achieved them. Guide Mode even
displays sample photos so you’ll know what to expect from each setting.
