•The focus range is 16.4 feet (5 m) – ¶.

ªTechnique for Night portrait mode

•Open the flash. (P38)

•Since the shutter speed becomes slow (max. about 1 sec.), we recommend using a tripod.

1 second after taking a picture.

•The subject should be positioned within the available flash range

[1.31 feet (40 cm) – 6.56 feet (2 m)]. (Fixed to ISO100)

•We recommend rotating the zoom lever to Wide.

•The focus range is 3.28 feet (1 m) – ¶.

¬Suggestions/Tips ¬

•Be sure to close the flash when you do not use the flash.

•Flash setting is fixed to Slow sync./

•You can change the white balance setting. (P67)

•The shutter may be kept closed (max. about 8 seconds) after taking a picture with slow shutter speed, but it is not a malfunction.

•When you take pictures in dark places, noises may become visible.

To avoid noises, we recommend setting each item on [PICT.ADJ.] to [LOW]. (P79)
