Creative Photography (Scene Modes)

The camera offers a choice of “scene” modes. Choosing a scene mode 
automatically optimizes settings to suit the selected scene, making 
creative photography as simple as selecting a mode, framing a picture, 
and shooting as described on pages 21–23.

The Mode Dial

The following scenes can be selected with the mode 
dial:

k

Portrait

Use for portraits with soft, natural-looking 
skin tones. If the subject is far from the 
background or a telephoto lens is used, 
background details will be softened to 
lend the composition a sense of depth.

l

Landscape

Use for vivid landscape shots in daylight. 
The built-in flash and AF-assist illuminator 
turn off; use of a tripod is recommended to 
prevent blur when lighting is poor.
