2 Shooting Portraits (Portrait)
This mode blurs the background to make the person stand out better. It also
makes skin tones and the hair look softer.
Shooting Tips
The further the distance between the subject and background, the
better.
The further the distance between the subject and background, the more
blurred the background will look. The subject will also stand out better in
front of a plain, 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. Move in closer if necessary.
Focus the face.
Check that the AF point covering the face turns green.
The default setting is <i> (continuous shooting). If you hold down the
shutter button, you can shoot continuously to obtain different poses and facial
expressions (max. approx. 4.3 shots/sec.).
Using the Speedlite 90EX or similar flash in Portrait mode is recommended.
