You can select from a menu of 16 “scenes”, each corresponding to a partic-

scene, sparing you the necessity of adjusting each setting separately.
Selecting the Advanced option allows 3 effects, Normal, Effect 1, and
Effect 2, to be selected for 9 of the 16 scenes. For example, you can adjust
an image in B PORTRAIT to make skin tones appear brighter.
