8: F Shooting Night Scenes (Handheld)
Using a tripod when shooting a night scene gives the best results.
However, the <F> (Handheld Night Scene) mode enables you to shoot
night scenes even while handholding the camera. In this shooting
mode, four shots are taken consecutively for each picture, and the
resulting one image with reduced camera shake is recorded.
Shooting Tips
Hold the camera firmly.
During shooting, hold the camera firmly and steadily. In this mode,
four shots are aligned and merged into a single image. However, if
there is significant misalignment in any of the four shots due to
camera shake, they may not align properly in the final image.
For portraits, use an external Speedlite.
If you are to include people in the picture, use an external Speedlite.
To take a nice portrait, the first shot will use flash. Tell the subject not
to move until all four consecutive shots are taken.
See the cautions on page 124.
