This mode allows you to take pictures
against a night landscape. The subject can
be recorded with brightness in real life by
using the flash and slowing down the
shutter speed.
∫ Technique for Night portrait mode
• Use the flash.
• Since the shutter speed becomes slow,
we recommend using a tripod and the
self-timer (P39) for taking pictures.
• Keep the subject still for about 1 second
when taking a picture.
• We recommend taking pictures by rotating
the zoom lever to Wide (1 k) and being at
a distance about 1.5 m from the subject.
• The focus range is 1.2 m to 5 m.
(Refer to P37 for the flash control range.)
• The shutter may be kept closed (max.
about 1 sec.) after taking a picture
because of signal conditioning, but it is not
a malfunction.
• When you take pictures in dark places,
noise may become visible.
• The flash is always activated when the
camera is set to Slow sync./Red-eye
reduction [
].
• The ISO sensitivity is fixed to [AUTO].
This mode allows you to take a picture of a
nightscape. The landscape can be
recorded vividly by slowing down the
shutter speed.
∫ Technique for Night scenery mode

(max. about 8 sec.), use a tripod. We also
recommend using the self-timer (P39) for
