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 ML-L3 remote control ( 107) or MC-DC1 remote cord ( 191) 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 ( 96). The Remote Cord Connector Cover To prevent moisture entering via the remote cord connector from damaging the camera, keep the remote cord connector cover closed in wet or humid environments. 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 Digital Vari-Program modes use the sRGB color space ( 59). The Self-Timer, Remote Control, and Remote Cord The self-timer and optional remote accessories can be used to operate the shutter remotely and prevent blur caused by camera shake. At default settings, the selftimer delays shutter release until about ten seconds after the shutter-release button is pressed ( 105). The optional ML-L3 remote control offers instantaneous remote release and remote release with a two-second delay ( 107), while the optional MCDC1 remote cord can be used for remote release and features a shutter-release button lock (see the MC-DC1 instruction manual for details). 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.
