(See
P50 Aperture-priority AE)
Recording technique
We recommend using a tripod and the
self-timer for taking pictures.
In [NIGHT PORTRAIT], we recommend
rotating the zoom lever to W (Wide) and
being about 1.5 m from the subject when
taking a picture. Keep the subject still for
about 1 second after taking the picture.
The range in which the focus is adjusted
is:
[NIGHT PORTRAIT]: 1.2 m to 5 m
other settings: 5 m to Z
For details about available fl ash range,
see P44 .
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 noticeable when
taking pictures in dark places.
The fl ash ([ Slow sync./Red-eye
reduction] fi xed) can be set for settings
only for [NIGHT PORTRAIT].
