Taking Pictures of Dark Scenes
(Night Scene Mode)
Total recording time will be longer when the picture is taken at
slower shutter speed (approximately 1/4 second or slower),
because the noise reduction function is activated to reduce noise.
The shutter speed is slower when taking pictures of dark scenes.
To prevent camera shake, shoot using the shake reduction function,
or set Shake Reduction to Off in the [
A
Rec.Mode] menu and
secure the camera on a tripod or other stable surface. (1p.51)
