I use a Canon Power Shot S5 IS most of the time because of the foliage mode, plus I do not have the DSLR
But for these following photos I am just using my phone camera.
My Canon camera:
It helps to familiarize with this mode dial, this is how you can use the Screen Mode Menu:
Right now the mode dial is aligned to the SCN, that is where you find the Foliage mode. There are other modes, like Snow, Beach, Fireworks, Aquarium etc. which you can toggle and choose.
You will see on the LCD display that leaf icon, which will tell you the Foliage mode has been properly chosen on the toggle button:
Pretty much I am just a typical point and shoot person..but I make sure my SCN is showing the Foliage icon on the LCD display before I fire away. My only problem now is I broke the rotating LCD display..I think it affected my focus..but it still functions..and I just keep using this camera more for its Foliage SCN Mode.
I think I should show a sample of a photo shot in Foliage mode and one in just Auto mode:
Taking a photo of my Phal stuartiana 'Sogo'
with Foliage mode:
Colors appear warmer and the speckled aspect of the plant shows more vivid.
with Auto mode: Colors look bland and dull..it still shows the plant image, but looks a bit lackluster.
