Taking night scene pictures<br />
There are different types of night scenes, ranging from the afterglow of a sunset to city lights<br />
at night. Sunset and fireworks sceneries are also a type of night scene.<br />
Using a tripod<br />
2Improving your shooting skills k Shooting guides<br />
A tripod is a must when shooting night scenes as the shutter<br />
speed is slow due to the darkness. Even when a tripod is not<br />
available, you should also place the camera on a stable<br />
ground such that it does not shake. Even when the camera is<br />
secured, you may also move the camera when pressing the<br />
shutter button. Hence, use the remote control or self timer to<br />
activate the shutter as far as possible.<br />
Changing shooting mode<br />
When taking night scenes, the balance of the brightness in the composition is not uniform<br />
due to the intensity of brightness. As there are many dark areas, using P (program shooting)<br />
mode will take a whitish picture that is overexposed. First of all, use A (aperture priority<br />
shooting) mode to take the picture. Set the aperture to the medium setting (about F8 or F11)<br />
and leave the shutter speed to the camera. As it is common for the picture to turn out too<br />
bright, adjust the exposure compensation to -1 or -1.5. Check the aperture and exposure<br />
compensation in the [REC VIEW] image and change it if necessary. Noise may occur easily<br />
when shooting at slow shutter speeds. Set [NOISE REDUCT.] to [ON] to reduce the<br />
occurrence of noise.<br />
Using manual focus<br />
For cases when the subject is dark and you cannot focus using AF<br />
(auto focus) or when you cannot focus in time for pictures such as<br />
fireworks, set the focus mode to MF (manual focus) and focus<br />
manually. For night scenes, turn the focus ring of the lens and check<br />
whether you can see the street lights clearly. For fireworks, as long<br />
as the long focus lens is not used, it is okay to adjust to infinite. If you<br />
know the approximate distance, you can also focus on something<br />
that is found at the same distance in advance.<br />
