FShooting Night Scenes Handheld

Normally, a tripod is necessary to steady your camera when shooting a night scene. However, with the <F> (Handheld Night Scene) mode, you can shoot night scenes while handholding the camera. In this mode, four shots are taken continuously for each picture. A bright image with reduced camera shake is taken.

Shooting Tips

Hold the camera firmly.

While shooting, hold the camera firmly and steadily. If any of the four shots are greatly misaligned due to camera shake, etc., they may not align properly in the final image.

If you are shooting only the night scene, set Flash off.

The default setting is set to <b> Flash off. If you are shooting only the night scene, set Flash off.

For shots of people, turn on the flash.

If you shoot people in the night scene, press the <Q> button to select <b> Flash off, then set <D> (Flash on).

To take a nice portrait, the first shot will use flash. Tell the person not to move until all four continuous shots are taken.

See the cautions on page 74.
