Canon 650D - Manual (Page 71)

71
To shoot people at night and obtain a natural-looking night scene in the
background, use the <6> (Night Portrait) mode.
Use a wide-angle lens and a tripod.
When using a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end to obtain a wide
night view. Also, use a tripod to prevent camera shake.
Check the subject’s brightness.
Under low light, the built-in flash will fire automatically to obtain a
good exposure of the subject. You should then play back the image
to check the image brightness. If the subject looks dark, move
nearer and shoot again.
Also shoot in another shooting mode.
Since camera shake is prone to occur with night shots, shooting also
with <A> and <F> is recommended.

Shooting Tips
Tell the subject to keep still even after the flash fires.
If you use the self-timer together with flash, the self-timer lamp will light
up briefly after the picture is taken.
