exposures may be long enough to cause blurring from camera move-
ment. The built-in flash will pop up if needed.
Night Portrait. Choose this mode when you want to illuminate a sub-
n
ject in the foreground with flash (it will pop up automatically, if
needed), but still allow the background to be exposed properly by the
available light. The camera focuses on the closest main subject. Be pre-
pared to use a tripod or a vibration-resistant lens like the 18-55 VR kit
lens to reduce the effects of camera shake.
Night Landscape. Mount your camera on a tripod and use this mode
n
for longer exposure times to produce images with more natural colors
and reduced visual noise in scenes with streetlights or neon signs.
Party/Indoor. For indoor scenes with typical background lighting.
n
Beach/Snow. Useful for bright high-contrast scenes with sand or snow.
n
Sunset. Emphasizes the rich colors at sunset or sunrise, disables the
n
flash, and may use a slow shutter speed, so consider working with a
tripod.
Dusk/Dawn. Similar to Sunset mode, but preserves the subtle colors in
n
the sky just after sunset, or just prior to dawn.
Pet Portrait. An "action" mode specifically for fast-moving, erratic sub-
n
jects, such as pets.
Candlelight. Disables your flash to allow photographs by candle; a
n
tripod is recommended.
Blossom. Uses a small f/stop to expand depth-of-field when shooting
n
landscapes with broad expanses of blossoms. This scene mode may
result in longer shutter speeds, so consider using a tripod.
Autumn Colors. Makes reds and yellows in Fall foliage richer.
n
Food. Boosts saturation to make food look more appetizing in your
n
snaps.
EFFECTS. Rotate the dial to the EFFECTS position, then spin the main
n
command dial on the back of the camera to select any of the following
special effects:
Night Vision. Monochrome images at high ISO settings; use a tripod
n
to eliminate blur.
Color Sketch. Produces outline effects in still camera and movie
n
modes. Available in Live View mode, too.
Miniature Effect. Makes subjects look like miniature models. Can be
n
used in Live View mode.
Selective Color. You highlight a color or colors and all other hues are
n
rendered in black-and-white. Also available in live view.
