pictures of people. It uses a relatively large
aperture (smaller f-number) and shallow depth of
field to create a blurred background to accentuate
your main subject.

200mm telephoto lenses with large maximum
apertures.

: Landscape Program
Use this program whenever you're taking a picture
of a distant scene. It generally selects a smaller
aperture to assure sharply focused landscape
pictures.

of lenses (wideangle to telephoto) to achieve
different effects.
