To shoot people at night and obtain a natural-looking night scene in the background, use the  (Night Portrait) mode.
  Use a wide-angle lens and a tripod.
When using a zoom lens, use th e wide-angle end to obtain a wide 
night view. Also, use a tripod to prevent camera shake.
  Check the subject’s brightness.
Under low light, the built-in flash wi ll fire automatically to obtain a 
good exposure of the subject. Y ou should then play back the image 
to check the image brightness.  If the subject looks dark, move 
nearer and shoot again.
  Also shoot in another shooting mode.
Since camera shake is prone to occu r with night shots, shooting also 
with < A> and < F> is recommended.
6 Shooting Night Portraits (With a Tripod)
Shooting Tips
  Tell the subject to keep still even after the flash fires.
  If you use the self-timer together with  flash, the self-timer lamp will light 
up briefly after the picture is taken.
  See the caution on page 75.

Normally, a tripod is necessary to steady your camera when shooting a 
night scene. However, with the < F> (Handheld Night Scene) mode, 
you can shoot night scenes while  handholding the camera. Four shots 
are taken continuously for each picture, and the resulting image with 
reduced camera shake is recorded.
  Hold the camera firmly.
While shooting, hold the camera firmly and steadily. In this mode, 
four shots are aligned and merged into a single image. However, if 
there is significant mi salignment in any of the four shots due to 
camera shake, they may not al ign properly in the final image.
  For shots of people, turn on the flash.
If you want to include people in a night scene shot, press the  
button to set < D> (Flash on).
To take a nice portrait, the first shot will use flash. Tell the person not 
to move until all four continuous shots are taken.

When shooting a scene having both bright and dark areas, use the 
< G > (HDR Backlight Control) mode. When you take one picture in this 
mode, three continuous shots are taken at different exposures. This 
results in one image, with a wide t onal range, that has minimized the 
blocked-up shadows caused by backlighting.
* HDR stands for High Dynamic Range.
  Hold the camera firmly.
While shooting, hold the camera firmly and steadily. In this mode, 
three shots are aligned and merged into a single image. However, if 
there is significant misalignment in  any of the three shots due to 
camera shake, they may not al ign properly in the final image.

Shooting Tips
  Flash cannot be used. In low light , the AF-assist beam will be emitted 
(p.101).

Caution for  (Night Portrait) and < F> (Handheld Night Scene)
  During Live View shooting, it may be diff icult 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 [ MF] and focus manually.
Cautions for < F> (Handheld Night Scene)
  When shooting flash photography, if t he subject is too close to the 
camera, the picture may come out extremely bright (overexposure).
  If you use flash to shoot a night scen e 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 which 
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.
  Shooting with an external Speedlite
• 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.
• When using a Speedlite with manual flash coverage switch, shoot with 
the flash head retracted to the wide (normal) position.
Cautions for < G> (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 < F> (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. Even if 1 +73  or 1  has been 
set for another shooting mode, the picture will be recorded in 73 .
 
If you shoot a moving subject, the subject’s movement will leave 
afterimages.
  The image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns 
(lattice, stripes, etc.), flat or single-tone images, or greatly misaligned 
shots caused by camera shake.
  Compared to normal shooting, recording the image to the card will take 
longer. 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 < F> or , direct printing (p.280) is not 
possible.
