6 Shooting Night Portraits (With a Tripod) To shoot people at night and obtain a natural-looking night scene in the background, use the (Night Portrait) mode. Using a tripod is recommended. Shooting Tips Use a wide-angle lens and a tripod. When using a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end to obtain a wide night view. Also, use a tripod to prevent camera shake. Check the subject's brightness. Under low light, the built-in flash will fire automatically to obtain a good exposure of the subject. It is recommended to play back the image after the shooting to check the image brightness. If the subject looks dark, move nearer and shoot again. Also shoot in another shooting modes. Since camera shake is prone to occur with night shots, shooting also with and is recommended. Tell the subject to keep still even after the flash fires. If you use the self-timer together with flash, the self-timer lamp will light up briefly after the picture is taken. See the cautions on page 89. 86
