Shooting Night Portraits (With A Tripod) - Canon EOS REBEL T7I Basic Instruction Manual

6 Shooting Night Portraits (With a Tripod)

To photograph people at night and obtain a natural-looking night scene
in the background, use the <6> (Night Portrait) mode. 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. Also, since camera shake is prone to occur with
handheld shooting, use a tripod.
Check the subject's brightness.

Under low light, the built-in flash will fire automatically to obtain a
good exposure of the subject.
Note that 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> is recommended.
