Shooting Night Portraits (With a Tripod)
When you want to photograph people at night and obtain a natural-looking
night scene in the background, use the <
6
> (Night Portrait) mode. Note
that an external Speedlite is required for shooting. Using a tripod is
recommended.
Shooting Tips
z
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, since camera shake is prone to occur with handheld shooting,
use a tripod.
z
Check the image brightness.
Note that it is recommended to play back the captured image on location
to check the image brightness. If the subject looks dark, move nearer and
shoot again.
z
Also shoot in other shooting modes.
Since camera shake is prone to occur with night shots, shooting also with
<
A
> and <
F
> is recommended.
o If you use the self-timer together with an external Speedlite, the self-timer
lamp will light up briefly after the picture is taken.
