Shooting Candlelight Portraits

When you want to photograph a human subject lit in candlelight, use <x>
(Candlelight). The atmosphere of candlelight is reflected in the color tones
of the picture.
Shooting Tips
Use the center AF point to focus.
z
Aim the center AF point in the viewfinder over the subject, then shoot.
Prevent camera shake if the numeric display (shutter speed) in the
z
viewfinder blinks.
Under low light, the viewfinder's shutter speed display will blink. Hold
the camera steady or use a tripod. When using a zoom lens, you can
reduce the blur caused by camera shake by setting the lens to the
wide-angle end.
Change the color tone.
z
You can change [Color tone]. To increase the candlelight's reddish
tinge, set it toward [Warm]. Set it toward [Cool] if it looks too red.
Live View shooting is not possible.
z
Although flash photography is not possible, raising the flash beforehand is
z
recommended, to enable firing of the AF-assist beam (= 167).
