Your Nikon digital camera offers a choice of “scene” modes for common
compositions, such as portraits, landscapes, and close-ups, which require special
combinations of settings that apply to any scene of the same type. When a
scene is selected from the SCENE menu, camera settings are automatically
adjusted to produce optimal results for the selected composition, sparing you
the necessity of adjusting camera settings one-by-one.
