Using a tripod for shooting a night scene yields the best results.
However, with the <
F
> (Handheld Night Scene) mode, you can shoot
night scenes while handholding the camera. In this mode, four shots are
taken continuously for each picture, and a resulting bright image with
reduced camera shake is recorded.
Hold the camera firmly.
While shooting, hold the camera firmly and steadily. In this mode,
four shots are aligned and merged into a single image. However, if
there is significant misalignment in any of the four shots due to
camera shake, they may not align properly in the final image.
For shots of people, turn on the flash.
If you will include people in the picture, press the <
Q
> button and
set <
D
> (Flash on). To take a nice portrait, the first shot will use
flash. Tell the subject not to move until all four continuous shots are
taken.
