∫ Technique for Night portrait mode
• Use the flash. (You can set to [ ].)
• Since the shutter speed becomes slower, we recommend using a tripod and the self-timer for
taking pictures.
• Ask the subject not to move while taking a picture.
• We recommend rotating the zoom lever to Wide (1k) and being about 1.5 m (4.92 feet) from
the subject when taking a picture.
Note
• The shutter may remain closed (max. about 8 sec.) after taking the picture because of signal
processing. This is not a malfunction.
• Noise may become visible when you take pictures in dark places.
