Technique for Candle light mode
• By making the most of the candle light,
you can take successful pictures without
using the flash.
• We recommend using a tripod and the
self-timer (P52) for taking pictures.
• The flash setting can be set to Slow sync./
Red-eye reduction [

This mode allows you to take a picture
according to the atmosphere of the
situation (e.g. a wedding reception, a party
in a dark room, etc.).
Both the people and the background can
be recorded with brightness in real life by
using the flash and slowing down the
shutter speed.
