Night Portrait - Nikon CoolPix S6300 Reference Manual

d Sports
Use this mode when shooting sporting events. The camera
captures a series of still images that allow you to clearly see
detailed movements in a moving subject.
• The camera focuses on the area in the center of the frame.
• Press and hold the shutter-release button all the way to
capture images continuously. Up to 6 images are captured
continuously at a rate of about 1.9 fps (when image mode is set to P).
• The camera focuses even when the shutter-release button is not pressed halfway. You
may hear the sound of the camera focusing.
• Focus, exposure, and hue are fixed at the values determined with the first image in each
series.
• The frame rate with continuous shooting may vary depending upon the current image
mode setting, the memory card used, or shooting condition.
e Night portrait
Use this mode for evening and night portraits that include
background scenery. The flash fires to light the portrait subject
while preserving background lighting to achieve a natural
balance between the main subject and background ambience.
From the screen displayed after the e Night portrait scene
mode is selected, select Hand-held or Tripod.
• Hand-held:
- The Y icon is displayed in the shooting screen.
- When the e icon at the top left of the monitor lights in green, press the
shutter-release button all the way to capture a series of images which will be
combined into a single image and saved.
- Once the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, hold the camera still until a still
image is displayed. After taking a picture, do not turn the camera off before the
monitor switches to the shooting screen.
- The angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) seen in the saved image will be
narrower than that seen in the monitor at the time of shooting.
- If the subject moves while the camera is shooting continuously, the image may be
distorted, overlapped, or blurred.
• Tripod (default setting): Select this option when using a tripod or other means to
stabilize the camera during shooting.
- The Z icon is displayed in the shooting screen.
- Vibration reduction (A95) is automatically set to Off regardless of the setting in
the setup menu.
- One image is captured at a slow shutter speed when the shutter-release button is
pressed all the way.
• When the camera detects a human face, it focuses on that face (A73).
• The camera softens skin tones by applying the skin softening function (A75).
• If no faces are detected, the camera focuses on the subject in the center of the frame.
• Digital zoom cannot be used.
