x Shooting Candlelight Portraits
When shooting a human subject in candlelight, use <x> (Candlelight).
The candlelight color tones will be retained in the photo.
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 shutter speed in the viewfinder

blinks.
Under low light when 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, use the wide-angle end to
reduce blur caused by camera shake even while handholding the
camera.
Change the color tone.

You can change [Color tone]. To increase the candlelight's reddish
tinge, set it toward [Warm tone]. Set it toward [Cool tone] if it looks
too red.
Live View shooting cannot be used.

The built-in flash will not fire. In low light, the AF-assist beam may be

emitted (p.103).
If you are using an external Speedlite, the Speedlite will fire.
