Taking Night Scenes - Olympus C-2100 Ultra Zoom Instructions Manual

TAKING PICTURES UNDER DIFFERENT
CONDITIONS (Cont.)

Taking night scenes

To capture a twilight scene or sunset naturally, you need to set your shutter
speed to a lower value. If the Mode dial is set to "P", the lack of brightness will
result in a dark picture with only the glow of the sunset or sparkle of the stars
appearing.
We recommend that you experiment by taking several pictures to determine
the optimum settings for natural-looking twilight shots.
Your camera offers two different ways of capturing twilight scenes.
With the mode dial set to "S-Prg",
select "S-Prg"–"
(p.86).
This mode uses the lower shutter speed
compared to the normal mode. Exposure
is adjusted automatically according to the
conditions.
Set the mode dial to "M", then select
both shutter speed and aperture
manually (p.89).
Select the optimal aperture, shutter speed
and focus range.
Note:
We recommend you to use a tripod for the
optimum result for this effect which uses the
lower shutter speed.
