Question Brought a PENTAX X90

I got a great deal on the PENTAX X90. My only hope is that I learn the best settings for potrait photography. I have NEVER had a camera with this many settings. Wish me luck! If anyone has any setting suggestions, please feel free to share.

portrait photography isn't about settings

^Agree,

I have the same camera that I just got recently for Christmas and I still yet have to play around with it.

There's no right 'setting' for portraits. It's just about playing around with it all and seeing what you come up with. I do know that, when I was playing with this camera. I think was the Manual Exposure mode, it made my pictures black.
