When shooting in dark conditions, use a tripod to
prevent camera shake.
If you use the viewfinder to take pictures in
Macro mode, there is a discrepancy between
what you see and what the camera actually
photographs due to the difference in the
positions of the lens and the viewfinder window.
For this reason, you should always use the LCD
monitor when shooting in Macro mode.

This is a flash mode that uses a slow shutter
speed. This allows you to take pictures of people
at night that clearly show both your subjects and
the night time backdrop.

The image may be overexposed when you shoot
bright scenes.

Because a slow shutter speed is used, a tripod
should be used to prevent camera shake.
b
Suppressed Flash
Use this mode for photography using indoor
lighting, for shots taken through glass, and for
photography in venues such as theaters or at
indoor sporting events where the distance is too
great for the flash to be effective. When you use
Suppressed Flash, the Automatic White Balance
function (➡P.118) operates so that natural colors
are captured along with the ambience of the
available light.

If you are shooting in Suppressed Flash mode in dark
conditions, use a tripod to prevent camera shake.
