∫Technique for Night portrait mode

• Use the flash.

• Since the shutter speed becomes slower, we recommend using a tripod and the self-timer (P46) for taking pictures.

• Keep the subject still for about 1 second after taking the picture.

• We recommend rotating the zoom lever to Wide (1k) and being about 1.5 m

(4.92 feet) from the subject when taking a picture.

•The focus range is 1.2 m (3.94 feet) to 5 m (16.4 feet). (Refer to P44 for the available flash range to take pictures.)

•Be sure to close the flash when not in use.

•The shutter may remain closed (max. about 1 sec.) after taking the picture because of signal processing. This is not a malfunction.

•Noise may become visible when you take pictures in dark places.
