The Mode Dial; Portrait; Landscape; Child - Nikon D5300 User Manual

The Mode Dial

The following scenes can be selected with the mode
dial:
k

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.
l

Landscape

Use for vivid landscape shots in daylight.
Note: The built-in flash and AF-assist illuminator turn off.
p

Child

Use for snapshots of children. Clothing and background details are vividly
rendered, while skin tones remain soft and natural.
m

Sports

Fast shutter speeds freeze motion for dynamic sports shots in which the main
subject stands out clearly.
Note: The built-in flash and AF-assist illuminator turn off.
n

Close up

Use for close-up shots of flowers, insects, and other small objects (a macro lens can
be used to focus at very close ranges).
