Creative Photography (Scene Modes)
The camera offers a choice of “scene” modes.
Choosing a scene mode
automatically optimizes settings to suit the selected scene, making
creative photography as simple as selecting a mode, framing a picture,
and shooting as described on pages 36–38.
❚❚ h Mode
To view the currently selected scene, rotate the mode dial to h and press the R
button.
To choose another scene, rotate the main command dial.

k Portrait l 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.
