Characteristics

Standard

This is selected when none of the following modes apply.

Portrait

For capturing portraits. Reproduces a healthy and bright skin tone.

Landscape

For capturing landscape views. Increases color saturation

and produces a vivid color image.

Macro

For capturing tiny objects at close focus range like flowers, coins,

jewelry, and more.

Night Scene

Portrait

For capturing images of people in low light conditions, such

as dusk or at night.

Even though the flash is used, the camera will use slow shutter

speeds so the background areas beyond the flash reach will also

appear correctly exposed in the picture (1 Slow-speed Sync

(p.208)). To prevent camera shake, either use the Shake

Reduction function or mount the camera on a tripod.

Sunset

For capturing sunrises or sunsets in beautiful, vivid color.

Blue Sky

For capturing images of blue sky. Produces a more impressive

deep blue.

Forest

Enhances colors of trees and sunbeams through foliage and

produces a vivid color image.
