subject and a landscape with near real-life
brightness by using the flash and slowing
down the shutter speed.
∫ Technique for Night portrait mode
• Use the flash.
• Since the shutter speed becomes slower,
we recommend using a tripod and the
self-timer (P50) for taking pictures.
• Keep the subject still for about 1 second
after taking the picture.
• We recommend taking pictures with zoom
set to Wide (1k) and a distance of about
1.5 m from the subject.
• The focus range is 1.2 m to 5 m. (Refer to
P47 for the available flash range to take
pictures.)
• Be sure to close the flash when not in use.
• The shutter may remain closed (max.
about 1 sec.) after taking the picture
because of signal processing. This is not
a malfunction.
• Noise may become visible when you take
pictures in dark places.
