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.
• 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 from the subject.
• The focus range is 1.2 m –5 m.
(Refer to P40 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.
• When the flash setting is set to Forced
OFF [ ], press 1 to set to Slow sync./
Red-eye reduction [ ]. (The flash
setting is fixed to Slow sync./Red-eye
reduction [ ] and the flash is always
activated.)
• The ISO sensitivity is fixed to [AUTO].
This mode allows you to take beautiful
pictures of fireworks exploding in the night
sky. The shutter speed is automatically
adjusted for taking pictures of fireworks.
∫ Technique for Fireworks mode
• We recommend using a tripod.
• The ISO sensitivity is fixed to [AUTO].
• This mode is most suitable when the
camera is at a distance of 10 m or more
from the subject.
• The flash setting is fixed to Forced OFF
[].
