portrait shot look much better with a nicely blurred background which will
emphasise your subject.
Soft skin. Is similar to the portrait mode scene mode however in this
mode some softening of the image is introduced to mask any slight
skin
imperfections. As with portrait mode it is enhanced by using the same
camera to subject and subject to background distances as outlined
previously.
Scenery mode. Allows you to capture wide vista landscapes, it sets the
camera to a small aperture to maximise the depth of field (DOF).
Panorama shot. In this mode it allows you to use the camera to capture
and stitch together a series of images to build up a landscape
Left to right panorama
or portrait oriented panorama shot. After making this scene mode
selection use the ▼▲ navigation buttons to select the direction and
orientation of the proposed panorama shot.
These choices are left to right, right to left, down to up and up to down.
On the lcd display will be a horizontal guideline which denotes where the
scenery should be located in for this effect to work properly.
The camera will lock focus, white balance and exposure for the first
image in the sequence and then use this setting for the remaining shots.
It must be noted that if the scene brightness or focus distance changes
throughout the sweep these will be noticed on the final composite image.
The arc of movement is around 180 degrees so ideally stand facing the
half way point of this sweep. Pivot your upper body from the waist
upwards so your starting point is 90 degrees from your start point.
Press the shutter half way down to focus and lock the expose and then
fully depress the button and then slowly pivot your body to the opposite
end of the arc.
