The <2> (Portrait) mode blurs the background to make the human

subject stand out. It also makes flesh tones and the hair look softer than

with the <1> (Full Auto) mode.

The farther the distance between the subject and background,

the better.

The farther the distance between the subject and background, the

more blurred the background will look. The subject will also stand

out better in front of a plain, dark background.

Use a telephoto lens.

If you have a zoom lens, use the telephoto end to fill the frame with

the subject from the waist up. Move in closer if necessary.

Focus the face.

Check that the AF point covering the face flashes in red.

Shooting Tips

If you hold down the shutter button, you can shoot continuously to obtain

different poses and facial expressions. (max. approx. 3.5 shots/sec.)

If necessary, the built-in flash will pop-up automatically.
