Tutorial-Digital Vari-Programs Night portrait Provides natural balance between main subject and background in portraits taken under low light. Lighting for portrait subject will seem natural even when flash is used. •Tripod, self-timer ( 105), and/or optional remote control ( 107) can be used to prevent blurring at slow shutter speeds. At speeds slower than 1 s, use noise reduction to reduce mottling ( 133). •Use mode for night shots that do not include portrait subject. •Flash set to slow sync. Other modes can be selected ( 94). Exposure Warning If the limits of the exposure metering system are exceeded, one of the following indicators will be displayed in the control panel and viewfinder: Indicator Description Subject too bright. Use optional Neutral Density (ND) filter. Subject too dark. Raise sensitivity (ISO equivalency; 46). Color Space Photos taken in Digital Vari-Program modes are recorded in the sRGB color space ( 59). Self-Timer and Remote Control Modes The self-timer and remote control can be used to allow photographers to appear in their own photographs or prevent blur caused by the camera moving when the shutter-release button is pressed. At default settings, the self-timer delays shutter release until about ten seconds after the shutter-release button is pressed. For details, see "Taking Photographs: The Self-Timer" ( 105). The optional ML-L3 remote control can be used to release the shutter remotely, either instantaneously or with a two-second delay. See "Taking Photographs: Using the Remote Control" ( 107). P, S, A, and M Modes In addition to the settings available in mode, P, S, A, and M modes offer control over such settings as shutter speed and aperture, white balance, image optimization, and exposure compensation.
