Cautions for both (Night Portrait) and (Handheld Night Scene) During Live View shooting, it may be difficult to focus dots of light such as in a night scene. In such a case, you should set the AF method to [Quick mode] and shoot. If it is still difficult to focus, set the lens' focus mode switch to and focus manually. Cautions for (Handheld Night Scene) When shooting flash photography, if the subject is too close to the camera, the picture may come out extremely bright (overexposure). If you use flash to shoot a night scene with few lights, the shots may not align correctly. This can result in a blurry photo. If you use flash and the human subject is close to the background that is also illuminated by the flash, the shots may not align correctly. This can result in a blurry photo. Unnatural shadows and unsuitable colors may also appear. External flash coverage: • When using a Speedlite with automatic flash coverage setting, the zoom position will be fixed to the wide end, regardless of the lens' zoom position. • If you have to set the flash coverage manually, set it to the wide-angle end. Cautions for (HDR Backlight Control) Note that the image may not be rendered with a smooth gradation and may look irregular or have significant noise. HDR Backlight Control may not be effective for excessively backlit scenes or extremely high-contrast scenes. Cautions for both (Handheld Night Scene) and (HDR Backlight Control) Compared with other shooting modes, the shooting area will be smaller. 1+73 or 1 cannot be selected. If 1+73 or 1 has been set, 73 will be set. If you shoot a moving subject, the subject's movement may leave afterimages or the surrounding area of the subject may become dark. The image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns (lattice, stripes, etc.), flat or single-tone images, or images significantly misaligned due to camera shake. Recording the image to the card will take longer than with normal shooting. During the processing of the images, "BUSY" will be displayed and you cannot take another picture until the processing is completed. If the shooting mode is set to or , direct printing is not possible. 79
