∫Technique for Night Portrait Mode

•When selecting [NIGHT PORTRAIT], ask the subject not to move while taking a picture.

Note

•Since the shutter speed becomes slower, we recommend using a tripod and the Self-Timer for taking pictures.

•When the camera is set to [STABILIZER] and there is very little jitter, or if [STABILIZER] is set to [OFF], shutter speed may slow down up to 8 seconds.

•The shutter may remain closed (max. about 8 sec.) after taking the picture because of signal processing. This is not a malfunction.

•During motion picture recording, low light settings [ ] are used, which will provide better pictures in dimly lit rooms or at nightfall.

•The range in which the focus is adjusted is shown below.
