Portrait mode of scene mode

Used to take photos of people, such as identity photos. Digital cameras will adjust the aperture to the maximum to produce the effect of shallow depth of field. However, some cameras also use tones, contrast or softening effects that can show a stronger skin color effect to highlight the subject of the portrait.

Night mode: There are generally two night modes. The former uses the shutter of110 seconds, which may lead to underexposure. The latter uses a shutter exposure time of several seconds to ensure that the photo is fully exposed and the photo will be brighter. Both are shot with a small aperture, and the flash will be turned off.

Portrait mode at night: When shooting people at night (such as going to the Lantern Festival), digital cameras usually shoot distant scenes with a shutter of a few seconds to110 seconds, and illuminate the main body of the people in the foreground with a flash. The flash is usually triggered before it is turned off.

Dynamic mode (motion mode): For shooting high-speed moving objects, the digital camera will adjust the shutter speed faster (1/500 seconds) or improve the ISO sensitivity.

Macro mode: used to shoot delicate targets such as flowers and insects. Digital cameras will use the "macro" focal length and turn off the flash.

Backlight mode: used in some backlight environments, that is, there is strong light behind the main body. The camera will use key metering to enhance the accuracy of exposure and increase the EV value to avoid the subject being too dark. Some cameras also use flash to fill the light.

Panoramic mode: when shooting ultra-wide pictures (such as mountains and seas), the digital camera will leave an extra position after each photo to help the photographer take multiple landscape photos in succession, and then form an ultra-wide landscape photo.
