What should be the ideal/universal setting for "Landscape" and "Portrait" mode? I know it's a matter of personal preference. But please give me some ideas.
Thanks.

Yes, it is definitely personal preference and greatly depends on the situation. The general rule, however, is that portraits usually take advantage of a large aperture to make the subject 'pop' from the background (such as f/1.2-f/2.8), while landscapes are usually shot with smaller apertures in order to make sure that there is a large depth of field (such as f/8-f/22).

Thank you for your response, but I should rephrase my question.
What I mean is the Picture Style values of Sharpness,Contrast, Saturation, Colour Tone.
