If there is complete cloud cover, avoid taking landscape
photos. Portraits and closer shots are better choices
under cloudy conditions.
If you are capturing a sunset or sunrise:
Use the fixed white balance setting.
Adjust exposure settings for
different effects.
Take several shots at different times to capture the
changing colors. (To do this automatically, set up
interval shooting as described in Chapter 3.)
If you are taking pictures in low light or
at night:
Increase the sensitivity setting.
Increase the exposure setting.
Use a wide aperture or slow shutter speed setting to let
in more light.
If your subject is in the shade with a sunny background,
try using spot metering and focusing the camera on your
subject.
For photographs taken at night, use the slow
synchronized flash mode. The leading setting sets off the
flash first, then exposes the subject and takes the picture.
In this mode, hold the camera still or use a tripod (see
Appendix A). The trailing setting flashes at the end of
the exposure, allowing you to capture background
motion while freezing your subject. (See Chapter 2 to
change the setting to leading or trailing.)
If you are taking photographs under
fluorescent lighting:
Use custom or fixed white balance.
Avoid taking portraits under
fluorescent lights.
