• When recording images of people on a twilight or night
time background, you can use the flash in combination

IMPORTANT!
• The shutter speed is quite slow in the Night Mode, so
you should be sure to use a tripod to hold the camera
steady. Note that the camera shake indicator does not
appear in the Night Mode.
