Taking Pictures with the Night Portrait
Mode
The Night Portrait mode combines the
electronic flash with a “slow shutter” mode.
This unique feature allows you to photograph
close subjects against the natural night
background. Since the shutter speed is slow,
we highly recommend using a tripod to steady
the camera.
The subject should be positioned within the
available flash range. (When setting to
ISO100, about 30 cm –2.1 m)
We recommend you to set the zoom lever
towards W.
1 Press [ OPEN] button to open the
flash.
2 Set the mode dial to Night portrait
mode [ ].
3 Take a picture.

When taking picture of only a
landscape at night
• You can obtain a good picture of a
nightscape (including no other subjects) by
closing the flash.
• The shutter speed is about 8 seconds.
• Be sure to close the flash when you do not use the flash.
• Flash setting is fixed to Slow sync./Red-eye reduction [ ].
• White balance is set to [AUTO] in the default position. You can change the setting.
(P58)
• The shutter may be kept closed (Max: about 8 seconds) after taking a picture with
slow shutter speed, but it is not a malfunction.
• When taking a picture in a dark place, the noise may appear. To avoid the noise,
we recommend you to set the picture adjustment to [NATURAL]. (P57)
