(Sunset) Selecting the shooting mode Shoots the red of the sunrise or sunset beautifully. (Night Scene) (Hand-held Twilight) (Night Portrait) Shoots night scenes at a distance without losing the dark atmosphere of the surroundings. • The shutter speed is slower, so using a tripod is recommended. • The picture may not be taken properly when shooting a wholly dark night scene. Shoots night scenes with less noise and blur without using a tripod. A burst of shots are taken, and image processing is applied to reduce subject blur, camera shake, and noise. • Reducing blur is less effective even in [Hand-held Twilight] when shooting: - Subjects with erratic movement - Subjects too close to the camera - Subjects with a repeating pattern such as tiles, and subjects with little contrast such as sky, sandy beach, or lawn - Subjects with constant change such as waves or water falls • In the case of [Hand-held Twilight], block noise may occur when using a light source that flickers, such as fluorescent lighting. Shoots portraits in night scenes. • The shutter speed is slower, so using a tripod is recommended. Shooting technique • When you want finer images, set the mode dial to P, A, S, or M and use the creative style function (page 145). In such cases, you can adjust the exposure, ISO, etc. 98
