Close-up - the camera selects the optimum aperture and
shutter speed combination to photograph at short object
distances. For best results use a macro lens or a macro
capable zoom lens. Focusing time can be longer with
macro lenses. The use of a tripod is recommended.
The built-in flash will overexpose subjects closer than 1.0m
(3.3 ft.). Use flash cancel. At close distances, the lens or
len hood may block the flash, creating a shadow at the
bottom of the image. The use of an accessory flash is
recommended.
Sports Action - the camera uses the fastest possible
shutter speed to stop motion and continually adjusts focus
to track the subject. The use of fast film is recommended.
When the subject is not within the flash range, use flash
cancel (p. 24). Mount the camera on a tripod or monopod
when using telephoto lenses.
Night Portrait - for photographs of people in low-light
conditions. The camera balances the ambient light
exposure with the flash exposure so the background
appears in the image. The use of fast film is recommended.
Ask the subject not to move after the flash burst as the
shutter may still be open for the background exposure. Use
a tripod to reduce camera shake.
To photograph a landscape or scene at night, set the flash
mode to flash cancel (p. 24). Dark night scenes may
prevent the AF system from focusing, use manual focus (p.
48). Night scenes tend to be better at twilight rather than in
the darkness of night. The faint light in the early evening
sky adds detail to the shadows of the scene.
