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 13–16.
The following scenes can be selected with the mode
dial:
s
k
Portrait
l
Landscape

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.
