    This mode is helpful when you are shooting close-up pictures of a subject from about one foot away or less.

      Landscape Mode:
      This mode is when you want extra sharpness and rich colors of distant scenes.

        Night Portrait:
        This mode is selected when you want to illuminate a subject in the foreground with flash, but still allow the background to be exposed properly by the available light. Be prepared to use a tripod or an image stabilized (IS) lens to reduce the effects of camera shake.

          Portrait Mode:
          This mode is used when you are taking a portrait of a subject standing relatively close to the camera and want to de-emphasize the background, maximize sharpness, and produce flattering skin tones.

            Program Mode:
            Program mode (P) uses camera’s built-in smarts to select the correct f/stop and shutter speed using a database of picture information that tells it which combination of shutter speed and aperture will work best for a particular photo. This mode allows the camera to select the basic exposure settings, but you can still override the camera’s choices to fine-tune your image.

              Shutter Priority:
              Shutter priority is the inverse of aperture priority: you choose the shutter speed you would like to use, and the camera’s metering system selects the appropriate f/stop. This mode is useful when you want to use a particular shutter speed to stop action or produce creative blur effects. The camera will select the appropriate f/stop for you.

                Aperture Priority:
                In this mode you specify the lens opening used, and the camera selects the shutter speed. Aperture priority is especially good when you want to use a particular lens opening to achieve a desired effect. This mode is useful especially for controlling sharpness or how much of your image is in focus. The camera will select the appropriate shutter speed for you.

                  Manual:
                  This mode is selected when you want full control over the shutter speed and lens opening, either for creative effects or because you are using a studio flash or other flash unit not compatible with the camera’s automatic flash metering.

                    Sports Mode:
                    This mode is used to freeze fast moving subjects.
