Night Portrait Assist - Nikon COOLPIX S4 Manual

Night Portrait Assist

tween the main subject and the background. Pictures
taken at slow shutter speeds are adjusted to reduce
noise, slightly increasing processing time; to prevent
blurring, mount the camera on a tripod or rest it on a
fl at, stable surface.
