To shoot people at night and obtain a natural-looking night scene in the
background, use the <
6
> (Night Portrait) mode. Using a tripod is
recommended.

Use a wide-angle lens and a tripod.
When using a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end to obtain a wide
night view. Also, use a tripod to prevent camera shake.

Check the subject’s brightness.
Under low light, the built-in flash will fire automatically to obtain a
good exposure of the subject.
It is recommended to play back the image after shooting to check
the image brightness. If the subject looks dark, move nearer and
shoot again.

Also shoot in other shooting modes.
Since camera shake is prone to occur with night shots, shooting also
with <
A
> and <
F
> is recommended.
