The Portrait mode. Is a useful mode for taking pictures of people outside
during the day as it helps to improve skin tones. To really make this mode
work for you consider using maximum telephoto setting by zooming all

your subject to fill the frame with head and shoulders. Try to keep the

Scene modes are automatic modes with exposure
parameters which have been pre-set to give ideal
images in those matching situations. If you are
using the iA mode an see that it has incorrectly
recognised the scene type (by looking at the icon

recommended to switch to the correct scene
mode by using this method otherwise the image
quality may not be optimal. The Scene Mode is
accessed by turning the top mode selection dial
