Use this mode for portraits taken at sunset or at night. Flash is
used to illuminate the subject while maintaining the mood of
the background.

when e Night portrait scene mode is selected.
• Hand-held:
- The Y icon is displayed on the shooting screen.
- For a scene with a dark background, when the shutter-release button is pressed all the
way, pictures are shot continuously. The camera combines these pictures to save a
single picture.
- Once the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, hold the camera steady without
moving it until a still picture is displayed. After taking a picture, do not turn the camera
off before the monitor switches to the shooting screen.
- If the subject moves while the camera is shooting continuously, the image may be
distorted, overlapped or blurred.
• Tripod (default setting): Select this mode when the camera is stabilized, such as with a
tripod.
- The Z icon is displayed on the shooting screen.
- Vibration reduction (
A
99) is automatically set to Off regardless of the applied
option in the setup menu.
- Press the shutter-release button all the way to shoot a single picture at slow shutter
speeds.

information).
• After the skin softening feature makes facial skin tones softer, the camera records the
image ( A50).
• If no faces are detected, the camera focuses on the subject at the center of the frame.
• Shoot pictures with the flash raised.
• The digital zoom is not available.
