Creative Photography (Scene Modes); Portrait; Landscape; Child - Nikon 25492 Reference Manual

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 22–24.
The following scenes can be selected with the mode
dial:
k

Portrait

l

Landscape

p

Child

Mode dial
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.
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.
Use for snapshots of children. Clothing
and background details are vividly
rendered, while skin tones remain soft and
natural.
