This mode blurs the background to make
the human subject stand out.
•
Holding down the shutter button executes
continuous shooting.
•
To improve the background blur, use a telephoto
lens and fill the frame with the subject or have
the subject stand farther away from the
background.
This is for wide scenic views, night scenes,
etc.
•
Using a wide-angle lens will further enhance
the depth and breadth of the image.
Use this mode to take close-up shots of
flowers, insects, etc.
•
As much as possible, focus the subject at the
lens' closest focusing distance.
•
To obtain a larger magnification, use the
telephoto end of a zoom lens.
•
For better close-ups, an EOS-dedicated macro
lens and Macro Ring Lite (both optional) are
recommended.
