Keep in mind, however, that when using these modes, the camera may dictate certain settings, including file quality (usually high-quality JPEG), white balance, ISO, color space, and metering pattern.

The following is a selection of some of the more common and useful scene modes, although you may find a lot more hidden on your particular camera. Some manufacturers, in fact, have become amazingly specific with their modes — like night-portrait modes (great fun) and a fireworks mode for shooting your Fourth-of-July photos.

■ Landscape mode. Usually indicated by a small silhouette of a mountain on the mode dial, this mode allows the camera to choose both the aperture and the shutter speed, but gives priority to selecting the smallest aperture possible so that you get maximum depth of field (which manufacturers assume is what most people want — and they’re right). However, the camera does have to compromise to be sure that you get a shutter speed that is safe for handheld shooting. This is a great mode to be in if you’re driving around the countryside on a Sunday afternoon or while on vacation, and want to get good landscape and scenic shots without any technical fussing around (see 6-19). You can also use this mode in any situation where you want a moderate or better amount of depth of field, such as in these shots of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s art installation, The Gates, in Central Park, New York City (see 6-20 and 6-21).
