That's because settings like "portriat" etc have predefined settings and limited things you can play around with (like lighting). If you want to have complete control over your shooting, then get in manual mode and play around. Honestly the only way I figured it out was to just play around with settings myself to see what each one did!Originally Posted by Giselle
