Mode Training
Our Personal Favorites
Close Up & Panoramic
The list below explore a variety of modes in alphabetical order; however, before you begin we wish to highlight our two favorites. Food or Macro Mode and Panoramic Mode.
Montreal, Quebec: Food mode is particularly useful when capturing the beauty and texture of amazing dishes, although we must give the real credit here to the incredible chefs at Duc de Lorraine, a French patisserie and bistro established in 1952!
Close Up 0r Food Mode
Close Up or Food Mode is one of the most versatile camera modes—not just for snapping mouthwatering desserts, but also for surprising uses like highlighting intricate details on a church ceiling with shallow depth of field or capturing the delicate texture of flower petals.
Newport, Rhode Island: Long for Europe, the oceanside mansions along Bellevue Avenue will make you fee like you are there! These homes bring the Gilded Age to life… literally!
Panoramic Mode
At the opposite end of the spectrum lies Panoramic Mode, typically used to capture wide, sweeping landscapes. But don’t stop there—this feature can do so much more. Indoors, panoramic shots can immerse the viewer in a space like no standard lens ever could. Try experimenting with vertical or abstract panoramas to create unique, eye-catching images that go beyond what a traditional camera setup can easily achieve. Push the limits, and you’ll be amazed by the results.
Flash Mode
Technically flash is not a mode, it is a tool; however, many think of it as a mode so we placed the link to this information here as well as in the on Screen Tools section.
