Shooting Portraits
The <
> (Portrait) mode blurs the background to make the human subject stand out. It also makes skin tones and hair look softer.
Shooting Tips​
- 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.
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.
Check that the AF point covering the face lights up. For close-ups of the face, focus on the eyes
- If you hold down the shutter button, you can shoot continuously (max. approx. 3 shots/sec.) to capture changes in the subject’s facial expression and pose.
- If necessary, the built-in flash will fire automatically.
