brightness.

∫Technique for Night Portrait Mode

•Use the flash. (You can set to [‹].)

•Ask the subject not to move while taking a picture.

Note

•We recommend using a tripod and the Self-timer for taking pictures.

•Shutter speed may slow down for up to 8 seconds.

•The shutter may remain closed (max. about 8sec.) after taking the picture because of signal

processing. This is not a malfun ct ion.

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

This allows you to take vivid pictures of the nightscape.

Note

•We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer for taking pictures.

•Shutter speed may slow down for up to 8 seconds.

•The shutter may remain closed (max. about 8sec.) after taking the picture because of signal

processing. This is not a malfun ct ion.

This mode allows you to record multiple pictures of night scenes at high speed, which are

all combined to make a single picture. It will reduce the jitter and noise from the picture

even when recording with the camera in your hand.

∫Picture size and aspect ratio

Select the picture size of 3M (4:3), 2.5M (3:2), 2M (16:9) or 2.5M (1:1).

Note

•Do not move the camera while recording pictures continuously.

•Noise may become visible when you take pictures in dark places or take pictures of moving

subjects.
