Portraiture is one of the classic genre of

photography. An expressive portrait is not just

beautiful to look at, knowing a few photographic

techniques will turn a photo into a masterpiece.

The Dynax 5D is equipped with a special portrait

subject program mode. By turning the function

wheel to the portrait mode, the camera

automatically chooses a large aperture to achieve

a small depth of field.

SMALL TELEPHOTO LENS

Using a short telephoto lens (85mm or more)

narrows the angle of view and the portrait conveys

a more flattering expression. With a longer focal

length the depth of field decreases as well.

A short focal length (smaller than 50mm) should

be avoided.

LARGE APERTURE

The use of a large aperture (e.g. f/2.8) enables a

narrow depth of field, so that the person is

distinctly separated from the background. The

depth of field can be so small, that only the eyes

are perfectly sharp and the tip of the nose and

the ears are slightly defocused.

The aperture determines the depth of field
