• Technique for Night Portrait Mode
• Since the shutter speed becomes slower, we recommend using a tripod and the self-timer for
taking pictures.
• When [NIGHT PORTRAIT] is selected, keep the subject still for about 1 second after taking the
picture.
• During motion picture recording, low light settings [D] are used, which will provide
better pictures in dimly lit rooms or at nightfall.
• Noise may become visible when you take pictures in dark places.
• The shutter may remain closed after taking the picture. This is due to signal processing and is
not a malfunction.
