Taking Pictures of Dark Scenes
(Night Scene Mode)
Total recording time will be longer when the picture is taken at
slower shutter speed (approximately 1/4 second or slower),
because the noise reduction function is activated to reduce noise.
The shutter speed becomes slower when taking pictures of dark
scenes. The camera shake is likely to occur under such condition.
Take pictures with the camera secured on a tripod or other stable
surface to prevent it from shaking.
