Taking Pictures with the Portrait Mode

Portrait mode allows you to achieve the depth 
of focus effect easily when you take portrait 
photos. The subject looks sharp and 
outstanding against an unfocused 
background. 
We recommend you to place the subject 
much closer and allow for proper distance 
between subject and background.
Please note that this mode is suitable for 
outdoor situations under sunlight.

1

Set the mode dial to Portrait mode 
[

].

2

Take a picture.

• [AUTO] setting in [W.BALANCE] works best when recording outdoors in the 

daytime. When using indoors, the colour balance can change. You can change the 
white balance setting. (P60)
