Landscape Used for scenic shots. The camera chooses a lens
aperture that keeps both near and distant objects
in focus.
Sports The camera selects a high shutter speed to freeze
fast-moving objects and, when the shutter button is
pressed halfway, continually focuses on the moving
object.
Night portrait
(or slow synch)
Uses the flash to illuminate your subject and leaves
the shutter open to record the ambient scenery.
You should mount your camera on a tripod when
using this mode, as the slow shutter speed
may cause blurring. Your subject should remain
perfectly still during the exposure. Note that with
some cameras, you access this shooting mode
through a menu command.

TIP
Remember to check your camera dial when you take
the next picture to ensure that you??™re working with the
desired shooting mode. For example, if you switch to
portrait mode when shooting a portrait of someone and
forget to change your camera dial to landscape when
photographing a landscape, you??™ll ruin the picture.

mode on your camera??™s dial.
