Recording

[Night Portrait]

This allows you to take pictures of a person and the background with near real-life 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 8 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.

[Night Scenery]

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 8 sec.) after taking the picture because of signal processing. This is not a malfunction.

[Handheld Night Shot]

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.
