Night Portrait 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.

Set the Mode Dial to < >.

● The way you take pictures is the same as in <> (Full Auto) mode. (→38)

➡ The AF mode is automatically set to <ONE SHOT>, the drive mode to < > (Single-frame), and the metering mode to < >.

To prevent camera shake, always use a tripod.

● 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 Portrait < > mode with an EX-series Speedlite.

●In daylight, Night Portrait < > mode operates the same as <> (Full Auto) mode.

●The image quality can also be set. (→50, 118)

For best results in Night Portrait mode, use an ISO speed setting of ISO 400 or faster. (→51, 118)
