Casio QV-R4 manual Using the Night Scene Mode, Shooting with Manual Exposure

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

Using the Night Scene Mode

The night scene mode extends the exposure time to produce beautiful night images.

1.Align the mode dial with .

2.Record the image.

NOTE

•When recording a portrait of a subject against a twilight or nighttime background, you can use the Night Scene Mode in combination with the flash to achieve a slow sync effect that causes the subject to stand out better.

IMPORTANT!

•Always mount the camera on a tripod when using the Night Scene Mode. This protects against blurred im- ages caused by slow shutter speeds.

•Auto Focus may not be able to work properly when lighting is low. If this happens, focus the image manu- ally (page 55). Trying to record a fast moving object can cause blurring of the image.

•The slower the shutter speed, the more likely it is that the recorded image will not match the image that is on the monitor screen when you press the shutter release button.
