The camera shake warning icon may appear on the LCD monitor since slower shutter speeds are frequently used in this mode. If this happens, affix the camera to a tripod. The shutter speed slows down. Even if you use the flash, tell your subjects not to move for a few moments. If the Night Scene mode is used to shoot mid-day shots, the same effects as with the mode can be obtained.
