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.
