Shooting Night Scenes

When shooting night scenes or other dark subjects, mount the camera on a tripod and select a slow shutter speed (1/2 sec. or more).

Night scene shot with automatic exposure

Night scene shot with slow shutter speed

If you select any mode where the exposure is set automatically (P or A) and raise the built-in flash, the shutter speed cannot be set slower than 1/30 and you cannot achieve the correct exposure of a night scene. If you want to shoot a night scene, take the picture with the flash closed. With the flash closed, the shutter speed is set for up to 2 seconds.

For an extremely dark scene, use the manual mode (M) so you can select a shutter speed of up to 8 seconds, or you can select the bulb mode so you can keep the shutter open up to approximately 30 seconds, as long as you keep the shutter button depressed.

Note

• We recommend using a tripod to avoid camera shake.

For the metering method, select digital ESP or Center weighted averaging metering, as Spot metering will measure only the light in a very small area in the center of the picture.

You can select a higher ISO setting to brighten your pictures, but this can also cause your pictures to appear grainy. We recommend that you test a variety of settings to achieve the effect that you want. Changing the ISO setting (➞ 83)

If you have difficulty in focusing the subject, use manual focusing.
