IMPORTANT!

•The maximum shutter speed in the Night Scene Mode is one second. Set the shutter speed manually (page E-70) when you want to use a slower speed.

•The shutter speed is quite slow in the Night Scene Mode, so you should be sure to use a tripod to hold the camera steady.

•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 button.

•Auto Focus is difficult in the dark. If you experience problems, use manual focusing (page E-59). There may be some blurring of the image if the subject is fast moving.

•In the Night Scene Mode, Quick Shutter records up to 4 consecutive shots.

•The contrast of Night Scene Mode images is not af- fected by changes made using the Record Menu's Contrast (Record Settings) settings.

3.Compose the image and then record it.
