Portrait
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 or at night. The built-
in flash and AF-assist illuminator turn off automatically. Use of
a tripod is recommended to prevent blur when lighting is
poor.
