  • Get up close to your subject to bring out the details.
  • Minimize the background to cut out the distractions from your subject.
  • Try to find the shade and put the sun behind your subject as a nice back light.
  • Pulling the exposure down just a hair can make images look more cinematic.
  • When taking photos of animals, give your pup some space. Portrait mode uses the telephoto lens, so a distance of about eight feet away is recommended. Have treats ready. You'll get the best results when your subject isn't moving.
  • Soft, diffused lighting will help with keeping the photo flattering to your subject.
  • Find a space that isn't too busy or distracting, as Portrait mode will create a photo that really pops.
