Caution for <6> (Night Portrait) and <F> (Handheld Night Scene)
During Live View shooting, it may be difficult to focus dots of light such as
in a night scene. In such a case, you should set the AF method to [Quick
mode] and shoot. If it is still difficult to focus, set the lens’ focus mode
switch to [MF] and focus manually.
Cautions for <F> (Handheld Night Scene)
When shooting flash photography, if the subject is too close to the
camera, the picture may come out extremely bright (overexposure).
If you use flash to shoot a night scene with few lights, the shots may not
align correctly. This can result in a blurry photo.
If you use flash and the human subject is close to the background which
is also illuminated by the flash, the shots may not align correctly. This
can result in a blurry photo. Unnatural shadows and unsuitable colors
may also appear.
Shooting with an external Speedlite
• When using a Speedlite with automatic flash coverage setting, the zoom
position will be fixed to the wide end, regardless of the lens’ zoom position.
• When using a Speedlite with manual flash coverage switch, shoot with
the flash head retracted to the wide (normal) position.
Cautions for <G> (HDR Backlight Control)
Note that the image may not be rendered with a smooth gradation and
may look irregular or have significant noise.
HDR Backlight Control may not be effective for excessively backlit
scenes or extremely high-contrast scenes.
Cautions for <F> (Handheld Night Scene) and <G> (HDR Backlight
Control)
Compared with other shooting modes, the shooting area will be smaller.
1+73 or 1 cannot be selected. Even if 1+73 or 1 has been
set for another shooting mode, the picture will be recorded in 73.
If you shoot a moving subject, the subject’s movement will leave
afterimages.
The image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns
(lattice, stripes, etc.), flat or single-tone images, or greatly misaligned
shots caused by camera shake.
Compared to normal shooting, recording the image to the card will take
longer. During the processing of the images, “BUSY” will be displayed
and you cannot take another picture until the processing is completed.
If the shooting mode is set to <F> or <G>, direct printing (p.280) is not
possible.
