This mode allows you to take pictures
against a night landscape. The subject can
be recorded with brightness in real life by
using the flash and slowing down the
shutter speed.
∫ Technique for Night portrait mode
• Use the flash.
• Since the shutter speed becomes slow,
we recommend using a tripod and the
self-timer (P41) for taking pictures.
• Keep the subject still for about 1 second
when taking a picture.
• We recommend taking pictures by rotating
the zoom lever to Wide (1k) and being at
a distance about 1.5 m (4.92 feet) from
the subject.
• The focus range is 1.2 m (3.94 feet) to
5 m (16.4 feet).
(Refer to P39 for the flash control range.)
• The shutter may be kept closed (max.
about 1 sec.) after taking a picture
because of signal conditioning, but it is not
a malfunction.
• When you take pictures in dark places,
noise may become visible.
• The flash is always activated when the
camera is set to Slow sync./Red-eye
reduction [ ].
• The ISO sensitivity is fixed to [AUTO].
