Taking Pictures using Night Portrait Mode
Night portrait mode allows you to take pictures against a nighttime landscape. By 
using the flash and a slow shutter speed, the picture will show the subject and the 
background brighter than they appear in real life.
Preparation
 Set the mode dial to [ ]. (P29)
ª Shutter speed in Night portrait 
mode
ª Technique for Night portrait mode
 We recommend using a tripod since  the shutter speed becomes slow in a 
dark setting (max. about 1 second).
 Keep the subject still for about 
1 second after taking a picture.
 The subject should be positioned  within the available flash range as 
follows:
 [1.64 feet (50 cm) – 15.7 feet (4.8 m) 
(Wide), 1.64 feet (50 cm) – 9.19 feet 
(2.8 m) (Tele)]. 
(When setting to [ISO400]/[AUTO])
 We recommend rotating the zoom 
lever to Wide.
 The focus range is about 3.28 feet  (1 m) – 9.84 feet (3 m). ª
When taking picture of a 
landscape at night
 When flash is set to Forced OFF  [ ], you can capture the night 
illumination scenery itself with slower 
shutter speed. (Max: about 8 seconds)
 The focus range is about 9.84 feet  (3 m) – ¶.
¬Suggestions/Tips ¬
 Flash setting is fixed to Slow sync./ Red-eye reduction [ ].
 The shutter may be kept closed  (max. about 8 seconds) after taking a 
picture with slow shutter speed, but it 
is not a malfunction.
 When the flash is set to Forced OFF  [ ] in Night portrait mode and you 
record the subject except the night 
illumination scenery, the hue may 
change due to the [AUTO] setting in 
white balance.
 You can change the white balance  setting. (P60)
 When you take pictures in dark places,  noises may become visible.
To avoid noises, we recommend 
setting [PICT.ADJ.] to [NATURAL]. 
(P72)
 When you record pictures in dark 
places, it may be difficult to focus on 
the subject. We recommend recording 
pictures in bright places with contrast 
using the AF/AE lock (P33).
