Shooting Night Portraits - Canon EOS Rebel T5 User 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.
Under low light, the built-in flash will fire automatically to obtain a
good exposure of the subject.
It is recommended that you play back the image after the 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.
