◗ For photographs taken at night, use slow synchronized flash mode. The leading setting sets off the flash first, then exposes the subject and takes the picture. In this mode, hold the camera still or use a tripod (see Appendix B). The trailing setting flashes at the end of the exposure, allowing you to capture background motion while freezing your subject. (See Chapter 2 to change the slow synchronized flash setting to leading or trailing.) If you are taking photographs under fluorescent lighting: ◗ Use custom or fixed white balance. ◗ If you need to take a portrait under fluorescent or other unflattering indoor light, use the fixed or user-defined white balance. If you are taking portrait photos: ◗ Try using spot metering. Make sure you center your subject when you lock the exposure with the two-step shutter. Then you can move the subject off-center while you are holding the shutter button down. ◗ Try using the Portrait setting in Program mode. ◗ Be aware of lighting conditions and how they affect the appearance of your subject. Natural, outdoor light in the early morning or late afternoon or light under cloudy skies is more flattering than direct sunlight or fluorescent light. ◗ Use the red-eye reduction flash mode for portraits. If you are taking portraits in bright light, you still may want to use the flash to correct for the camera's exposure adjustments. Adjusting Exposure and Color Settings 5-13
