e Night portrait
Use this mode for portraits taken at sunset or at night. Flash is
used to illuminate the subject while maintaining the mood of
the background.
Press the d button to select Hand-held or Tripod in Night
portrait.
• Hand-held: This enables you to shoot with the minimum of camera shake and noise even
when holding the camera by hand.
- The Y icon is displayed on the shooting screen.
- When the e icon at the top left of the monitor lights in green, press the shutter-release
button all the way to shoot a series of pictures, which will be combined into a single
image and saved.
- Once the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, hold the camera steady without
moving it until a still picture is displayed. After taking a picture, do not turn the camera
off before the monitor switches to the shooting screen.
- The angle of view (image area) seen in the saved image will be narrower than that seen
on the monitor at the time of shooting.
- If the subject moves while the camera is shooting continuously, the image may be
distorted, overlapped, or blurred.
• Tripod (default setting): Select this mode when the camera is stabilized, such as with a
tripod.
- The Z icon is displayed on the shooting screen.
- Vibration reduction (A193) is automatically set to Off regardless of the applied
option in the setup menu (A185).
- Press the shutter-release button all the way to shoot a single picture at slow shutter
speeds.
• Shoot pictures with the flash raised.
• The digital zoom is not available.
• The camera automatically detects and focuses on a face (see "Shooting with Face Priority"
(A97) for more information).
- If the camera detects multiple faces, the camera focuses on the face closest to the
camera.
- After the Skin softening feature makes the subject's skin appear smoother (up to three
people), the camera records the image (A66).
- If no faces are recognized, the camera focuses on the subject at the center of the frame.
X
1 Fill flash is used with red-eye reduction.
2 Other settings can be selected.
Q: Noise reduction is performed for pictures shot in scene modes with Q, so they may take longer
to record.
