The Guide Mode allows you to easily take, view, delete and to adjust settings to your most frequently used functions of your camera. Geared toward the budding beginner photographer, the Guide Mode is a more intuitive way of creating an image, taking the guesswork out of settings to allow the user to focus more on framing the shot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32242\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/01-GuideModeMain.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"331\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/01-GuideModeMain.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/01-GuideModeMain-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 11px;\"><em>Image courtesy of Imaging Resource.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s the difference between Scene Modes on the camera and the Guide Mode?
