Shooting Night Portraits (With A Tripod) - Canon EOS 250D 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. Using a
tripod is recommended.
Shooting Tips
Use a wide-angle lens and a tripod.
z
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.
z
Under low light, using flash produces better shots of people.
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.
z
Since camera shake is prone to occur with night shots, shooting also
with <A> and <F> is recommended.
Tell the subject to keep still even after the flash fires.
z
See the cautions on page 91.
