x Shooting Candlelight Portraits
When photographing 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.

Aim the center AF point in the viewfinder over the subject, then
shoot.
Prevent camera shake if the numeric display (shutter speed) in

the viewfinder blinks.
Under low light where camera shake is prone to occur, the
viewfinder's shutter speed display will blink. Hold the camera steady
or use a tripod. When using a zoom lens, you can reduce blur
caused by camera shake by setting the lens to the wide-angle end,
even with handheld shooting.
Change the color tone.

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.

Flash photography is not possible. In low light, the AF-assist beam may

be emitted (p.121).
