OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS
Using the Night Scene Mode
The night scene mode extends the exposure time to produce
beautiful night images.
1.
Align the mode dial with .
2.
Record the image.
NOTE
• When recording a portrait of a subject against a twilight
or nighttime background, you can use the Night Scene
Mode in combination with the flash to achieve a slow
sync effect that causes the subject to stand out better.
IMPORTANT!
• Always mount the camera on a tripod when using the
Night Scene Mode. This protects against blurred im-
ages caused by slow shutter speeds.
• Auto Focus may not be able to work properly when
lighting is low. If this happens, focus the image manu-
ally (page 55). Trying to record a fast moving object
can cause blurring of the image.
• The slower the shutter speed, the more likely it is that
the recorded image will not match the image that is on
the monitor screen when you press the shutter release
button.
