THE EXPANDED GUIDE
Child mode is similar to Portrait mode, but
one difference is that the camera tends to
set higher shutter speeds, because children
are less likely than adults to sit still. JPEG
processing is based on a Standard Picture
Control rather than Portrait for results that
are more vivid overall, with pleasing skin
tones. The flash activates automatically,
but its limitations are just as noticeable as
in
Portrait. It can be turned off via the
Active Information Display.

In Portrait mode the camera sets a
relatively wide aperture to reduce depth of
field (page 60), helping subjects stand out
from their background. The camera also
selects the focus point automatically, using
Face Detection, although you can select
other focusing options. The flash pops up
if the camera determines light levels are
too low, but can (and often should) be
turned off via the Active Information
Display. Attaching a separate flashgun will
override the built-in-flash—and usually
improves results (see page 148).
