Shooting Night Scenes

The Night Scene Mode uses longer exposure to produce beautiful night scene images.

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.

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.

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).
