(Portrait) mode blurs the background to make the human subject
stand out. It also makes skin tones and hair look softer.
~~~ Shooting Tips
•
Select the location where the distance between the subject
and the background is the farthest.
The further the distance between the subject and
background,
the more
blurred the background will look. The subject will also stand out better
against an uncluttered dark
background.
•
Use a telephoto lens.
If you have a zoom
lens,
use the telephoto end to fill the frame with the
subject from the waist
up.
•
Focus on the face.
As you focus before
shooting,
make sure that an AF point is displayed on
the face (in viewfinder
shooting),
or that the AF point on the face is green
(in Live View
shooting).
When shooting close-ups of the face in Live View
shooting,
you can set (0: Eye Detection AF] to [Enable] to shoot with
the subject's eyes in
focus.
•
Shoot continuously.
The default setting is <Qi> (Low-speed continuous
shooting).
If you keep
holding down the shutter
button,
you can shoot continuously to capture
changes in the subject's facial expression and
pose.
