p

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

m

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

n

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

o

Use for a natural balance between the 
main subject and the background in 
portraits taken under low light. Use of a 
tripod is recommended to prevent blur.
