apply.

and produces a vivid color image.

sporting events.

Night Scene

Portrait

For capturing images of people in low light conditions, such as

dusk or at night.

Even though the flash is used, the camera will use slow shutter

speeds so the background areas beyond the flash reach will

also appear correctly exposed in the picture (Slow-speed Sync

(p.222)). To prevent camera shake, either set [Shake

Reduction] (p.103) to Q (On) or mount the camera on a

tripod.
