Wide aperture to minimize the depth of field (makes the subject really stand out from the background of the picture)
Flash will automatically pop up if needed
Portrait

Very similar to Portrait with wide aperture, but sets a faster shutter speed with the idea that children are generally moving around a lot and don’t sit still.
Colors are more vididFlash activates automatically
Child
Landscape
Small aperture to maximize the depth of field
Small apertures usually mean slow shutter speeds, so it is often best to use a tripod
Flash will be off and there is no way to activate it in order to give vibrant colors.
Landscape
Sports
Not just sports, but any fast-moving subjects, including wildlife.
Camera tries to set a fast shutter speed to freeze movement
With fast shutter speed, aperture is usually wide, which means a shallow depth of field
Flash is off with no way to turn it on

Close-up
Intended for shooting at close rangeCamera sets a relatively small aperture to
increase depth of fieldFlash will turn on, but it is best to shut the
flash off as it will create shadowsFlash can be turned off using the active

Night Portrait
Similar to regular portrait, but uses a slower shutter speed because of the low light. Good idea to use a tripod.
