When shooting night scenes, shooting people at night, shooting landscapes, shooting portraits, shooting snowy scenes, or shooting at the shore, use the following modes to increase the quality of your images.

When the shutter speed is 1/6 second or slower, the NR slow shutter function activates automatically (page 46).

Twilight mode

Allows you to shoot night scenes at far distance without losing the dark atmosphere of the surroundings. The shutter speed becomes slower, so we recommend that you use a tripod to prevent shaking.

Twilight portrait mode

Suitable for shooting portraits in dark places. Allows you to shoot sharp images of people in dark places without losing the dark atmosphere of the surroundings. The shutter speed becomes slower, so we recommend that you use a tripod to prevent shaking.
