[SCENE MODE] menu (Refer to P69 for information about how to select the menu.)

pictures of food without being affected by
the ambient light, such as at restaurants.

food in a natural hue.

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. (P48)
• Since the shutter speed becomes slow,
we recommend using a tripod and the
self-timer (P52) for taking pictures.
• Keep the subject still for about 1 second
when taking a picture.
• We recommend taking pictures with zoom
set to Wide (1 k) and a distance of about
1.5 m from the subject.
• The focus range is 1.2 m to 5 m.
(Refer to P49 for the flash control range.)
• Be sure to close the flash when not in use.
• 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.
• When the flash is set, the flash setting is
fixed to Slow sync./Red-eye reduction
[
] and the flash is always activated.
• The ISO sensitivity is fixed to [AUTO].
• The setting on the continuous AF is
disabled.
