User's Manual

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 misalignment in any of the four shots due to

camera shake, they may not align 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 <Q>

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.
