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, and a resulting bright image with reduced camera shake is recorded.
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.
When including a human subject:
With flash, you can shoot both the human subject and night scene background while handholding the camera. 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 82.
