The Quality setting is automatically set to

If the shutter speed indicator blinks, the shutter speed may be too slow to keep the
picture from being blurred by camera shake. We recommend you use a tripod when
taking landscape pictures. (The shutter speed indicator still blinks if you use a
tripod, but camera shake will not be a problem.)

The built-in flash does not fire in Landscape mode, even if it is raised.

A wide-angle lens provides the greatest depth from foreground to background, as
well as a wider image. If you use a zoom lens, its shortest focal length is the most
effective (for example, a 24-85mm lens set to 24 mm).
