Night Portrait Mode
Night portraits require the camera’s
flash exposure to be balanced with
the background exposure. In Night
Portrait mode, the camera sets the
largest possible aperture with a
longer shutter speed, allowing the
background to appear in the
photograph.
Tips
• Set the flash to or when using Night Portrait mode.
See pages 26 and 27.
• Use faster film and a tripod.
• Focus on the main part of your subject.
• Warn your subject not to move while the picture is taken.
Photographing Night Scenes
Cancel the flash in Night Portrait
mode to photograph night scenes.
The longer shutter speeds set in
Night Portrait mode let you
capture beautiful photographs of
twilight scenes and night skylines.
Tips
• Use faster film and a tripod.
• If you are photographing a dark night scene, it may be difficult for
the camera to focus, use focus hold (p23) or manual focus (p53).
