Normally, a tripod is necessary to steady your camera when shooting a
night scene. However, with the <F> (Handheld Night Scene) mode,
you can shoot night scenes while handholding the camera. In this
mode, four shots are
taken continuously for each picture, and a
resulting bright image with reduced camera shake is recorded.
Hold the camera firmly.
While shooting, hold the camera firmly and steadily. If any of the four
shots are greatly misaligned d
ue to camera shake, etc., they may
not align properly in the final image.
When including a human subject:
With flash, you can shoot both the human subject a
nd night scene
background while hand
holding the camera. To take a nice portrait,
the first shot will use flash. Tell the person not to move until all four
continuous shots are taken.
