mode, be sure to place your camera on a
tripod or other steady camera support to
prevent camera shake. It is also important

Use this mode to avoid deep shadows
against the light. For example a person
standing in front of a window or under a tree
with a very bright background. This pro-
duces more natural looking photographs.

room lighting or taking pictures of subject
beyond the flash range such as in a theater
