Night Portrait Mode
This mode is for taking pictures of people at sunset
or at night. It uses flash to illuminate the subject and
a slow shutter speed to expose the background,
resulting in a natural-looking exposure.
Set the Mode Dial to < >.
● The way you take pictures is the same as in
<
> (Full Auto) mode. ( → 38)
➡ The AF mode is automatically set to SHOT>, the drive mode to <
> (Single-frame),
and the metering mode to < >.
To prevent camera shake, always use a tripod.
● If you are taking images of scenery only (and not people), use Landscape < >
mode.
● Tell your subjects not to move for a few seconds after the flash fires.
● You can also use Night Portrait < > mode with an EX-series Speedlite.
● In daylight, Night Portrait < > mode operates the same as < > (Full Auto)
mode.
● The image quality can also be set. ( → 50, 118)
For best results in Night Portrait mode, use an ISO speed setting of ISO 400 or
faster. (
