Shooting Night Scenes
The Night Scene Mode uses longer exposure to produce
beautiful night scene images.
1.
Enter the REC mode.
2.
Press MENU.
3.

Select “NIGHT SCENE” (Night Scene Mode),

and then press the shutter release button.

4.
Press the shutter release button to record the
image.
NOTE
• You can use the Night Scene Mode in combination
with flash for slow sync shooting of people against a
twilight or night scene background.
IMPORTANT!
• The shutter speed is quite slow in the Night Scene
Mode, so be sure to use a tripod to hold the camera
steady.
• Auto Focus is difficult in the dark. If you experience
problems, use manual focusing (page E-57). There
may be some blurring of the image in cases where the
subject is moving quickly.
• Slow shutter speed also causes slow monitor screen
refresh. Because of this, the image recorded may be
slightly different from the image that was on the moni-
tor screen when you pressed the shutter release but-
ton.
• The contrast of Night Scene Mode images is not af-
fected by changes made in contrast settings (page E-
88).
