Technique for Night Portrait mode
• Use the flash.
• Since the shutter speed becomes slower,
we recommend using a tripod and the
self-timer (P38) for taking pictures.
• The subject should remain still for about
1 second after taking the picture.
• We recommend being about 1.5 m
(4.92 feet) from the subject when taking a
picture.
• The focus range is 1.2 m (3.94 feet) to 5 m
(16.4 feet). (Refer to P36 for the available
flash range to take pictures.)
• The shutter may remain closed (max.
about 1 sec.) after taking the picture
because of signal processing. This is not
a malfunction.
• Noise may become visible when you take
pictures in dark places.
• When using the flash, Slow sync./Red-eye
reduction [
] is selected and the
flash is fired every time.
• The white balance cannot be set.
Press [
] to display the [SCENE MODE]
menu and select this scene mode. (P43)

nightscape.
w
Technique for Night Scenery mode
• Since the shutter speed becomes slower,
use a tripod to avoid jitter (up to about
8 sec.). We also recommend using the
self-timer (P38) for taking pictures.
