Night Scene Mode

This mode is for taking pictures of people at sunset or at night. It uses flash to illuminate the subject and a slow shutter speed to expose the background, resulting in a natural-looking exposure.

The way you take pictures is the same as in (Full Auto) mode. (42)

The AF mode is automatically set to ONE

SHOT, the drive mode to

 

(Single shot),

 

and the metering mode to

.

The Quality setting is automatically set to

Large/Fine (2160 1440).

To prevent camera shake, always use a tripod.

When the shutter speed has been automatically set to 1-2 seconds, it will take one second from when the shutter button is pressed down fully until the picture is taken. Continue pressing the shutter button until the picture is taken.

If you are taking images of scenery only (and not people), use Landscape

mode.

Tell your subjects not to move for a few seconds after the flash fires.

You can also use Night Scene mode with an EX-series Speedlite.

In daylight, Night Scene mode operates the same as (Full Auto) mode.

For best results in Night Scene mode, use a film speed setting of ISO 400 or faster. (55, 120)
