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

subject stand out. It also makes skin tones and hair look softer.

 Select the location where the distance between the subject and

the background is the farthest.

The further the distance between the subject and background, the

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

out better against an uncluttered

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 necessa

ry.

 Focus on the face.

Check that the AF point covering the face lights up. For close-ups of

the face, focus on the eyes.

Shooting Tips

 If you hold down the shutter button, you can shoot continuously (max.

approx. 3.0 shots/sec.) to capture changes in the subject’s facial

expression and pose.

 If necessary, the built-in flash will fire automatically.
