S Night portrait
Use this mode for portraits of a human subject shot in front of
background lighting at night. Flash is used to illuminate the
subject while maintaining the mood of the background.
Press the
d button to set Night portrait to Hand-held or
Tripod.
• Hand-held: Select this option to produce shots with
reduced blurring and noise even when the camera is hand-held.
- The Y icon is displayed in the shooting screen.
- When the e icon at the top left of the monitor lights in green, press the shutter-
release button all the way to capture a series of images which will be combined into a
single image and saved.
- Once the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, hold the camera steady without
moving it until a still image is displayed. After taking a picture, do not turn the camera
off before the monitor switches to the shooting screen.
- The angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) seen in the saved image will be
narrower than that seen in the monitor at the time of shooting.
- If the subject moves while the camera is shooting continuously, the image may be
distorted, overlapped, or blurred.
• Tripod (default setting): Select this option when using a tripod or other means to
stabilize the camera during shooting.
- The Z icon is displayed in the shooting screen.
- Vibration reduction (
A 178) is automatically set to Off regardless of the setting in
the setup menu ( A 169).
- One image is captured at a slow shutter speed when the shutter-release button is
pressed all the way.
• Raise the flash before taking pictures.
• Digital zoom is not available.
• When the camera detects a human face, it focuses on that face (see “Face Detection”
( A 56) for more information).
- If more than one face is detected, focus will be on the face closest to the camera.
- The camera softens skin tones (in up to three faces) by applying the skin softening
function before saving images ( A 67).
- If no faces are detected, the camera focuses on the subject at the center of the frame.
