∫ Technique for Night portrait mode
• Use the flash.
• Since the shutter speed becomes slower,
we recommend using a tripod and the
self-timer (P48) for taking pictures.
• Keep the subject still for about 1 second
after taking the picture.
• We recommend rotating the zoom lever to
Wide (1k) and being about 1.5 m from the
subject when taking a picture.
• The focus range is 1.2 m to 5 m. (Refer to
P46 for the available flash range to take
pictures.)
• Be sure to close the flash when not in use.
• The shutter may remain closed (max.
about 1 sec.) after taking the picture
because of signal processing. This is not
3
a malfunction.
• Noise may become visible when you take
pictures in dark places.
