Taking Pictures using Night Portrait Mode
Night Portrait Mode allows you to take pictures against a nighttime landscape. By
using the flash and a slow shutter speed, the picture will show the subject and the
background brighter than they appear in real life.

ª Technique for Night portrait mode

• Since the shutter speed becomes slow
(max. about 1 sec.), we recommend
using a tripod.
• Keep the subject still for about
1 second after taking a picture.
• The subject should be positioned
within the available flash range
[1.31 feet (40 cm) –6.56 feet (2 m)].
(Fixed to ISO100)
• We recommend rotating the zoom
lever to Wide.
• The focus range is 3.28 feet (1 m) – ¶.
ª When taking picture of only a
landscape at night

will be about 8 seconds at maximum.
The shutter speed is suitable for taking
pictures of nightscapes only.
