Shooting Night Portraits (With A Tripod) - Canon EOS 90D Advanced User's Manual

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 shooting in this mode requires the built-in fl ash or an external
Speedlite. Using a tripod is recommended.
Shooting Tips
Use a wide-angle lens and a tripod.

When using a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end to obtain a wide night
view. Because camera shake occurs in handheld shooting, using a tripod
is also recommended.
Check the image brightness.

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.
Also shoot in other shooting modes.

Since camera shake is prone to occur with night shots, shooting also with
< A > and < F > modes is recommended.
If you use the self-timer together with a fl ash, the self-timer lamp will light up
o
briefl y after the picture is taken.
