Shooting Night Scenes
When shooting night scenes or other dark subjects, mount the camera on a tripod and
select a slow shutter speed (1/2 sec. or more).
If you select any mode where the exposure is set
automatically (
P
or
A
) and raise the built-in flash, the
shutter speed cannot be set slower than 1/30 and
you cannot achieve the correct exposure of a night
scene. If you want to shoot a night scene, take the
picture with the flash closed. With the flash closed,
the shutter speed is set for up to 2 seconds.
For an extremely dark scene, use the manual mode
(
M
) so you can select a shutter speed of up to 8
seconds, or you can select the bulb mode so you can
keep the shutter open up to approximately 30
seconds, as long as you keep the shutter button
depressed.
Note
• We recommend using a tripod to avoid camera shake.

You can select a higher ISO setting to brighten your

of settings to achieve the effect that you want.
