EXPOSURE MODES — 2. Exposure Mode Button
Use this mode to shoot a night scene without artificially illuminating the
subject.
For more versatile exposure control, you can use the Aperture Preferred Auto
mode, Shutter Speed Preferred Auto mode or Manual Exposure mode.
When shooting subjects against a nighttime
background, combine this mode with the
flash.
Do not use the flash when you are shooting
night scenes only.
In this mode, you can shoot clear pictures at night without over-
illuminating the subject and blackening out the background.
Press the exposure mode button to
select “A” (Aperture Preferred Auto),
“S” (Shutter Speed Preferred Auto) or
“M” (Manual Exposure).
The shutter speed is
set at as slow as 4-
sec. Use a tripod to
keep the camera
steady.
Press the button. Compose your shot, and
press the shutter release button.
