Note on Using a Tripod

A
PORTRAIT (FACE AF)
Use for portraits (from the waist up) of up to three people. When
the camera recognizes human faces, a square focus area is dis-
played and the subject is in focus (Face-priority AF).
See page 39 for more information on how to take pictures with this
function.

PORTRAIT

ground details are softened, lending a sense of depth to the com-
position.

lighting.
• In dimly lit surroundings, turn Vibration reduction (P.48) on and
hold the camera steady to prevent camera shake.

NIGHT PORTRAIT
Use for a natural balance between the main subject and back-
ground lighting in portraits shot at night.
Effect 1
: The subject and background are captured more vividly.
Effect 2
: Point sources of light radiate out and cause the night-
scape to stand out.
• Noise reduction turns on automatically at slow shutter speeds
and it will take longer than usual to store the picture.
• Digital zoom is not available.
• To prevent blurring, mount the camera on a tripod or rest it on a flat, level surface.
