Shooting Night Portraits - Canon EOS 4000D Instruction Manual

6 Shooting Night Portraits

To shoot 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, use a tripod to prevent camera shake.
Check the subject's brightness.

If you raise the built-in flash beforehand, it will fire automatically
under low light to obtain a good exposure of the subject.
It is recommended to play back the image after shooting to check
the image brightness. If the subject looks dark, move nearer and
shoot again.
Also shoot with the <A> (Scene Intelligent Auto) mode.

Since camera shake is prone to occur with night shots, shooting also
in the <A> mode is recommended.
