•<6> Night Portrait
Tell the subject to keep still even after the flash fires.
During Live View shooting, achieving focus may be difficult when the
face of the subject looks dark. In such a case, set the lens’s focus mode
switch to <MF> and focus manually.
When you shoot a night scene with Live View shooting, achieving focus
with AF may be difficult if point sources of light are found in the AF point.
In such a case, set the lens’s focus mode switch to <MF> and focus
manually.
The Live View image displayed will not look exactly the same as the
actual captured image.

RAW image quality cannot be set.
When you shoot a night scene with Live View shooting, achieving focus
with AF may be difficult if point sources of light are found in the AF point.
In such a case, set the lens’s focus mode switch to <MF> and focus
manually (p.154).
The Live View image displayed will not look exactly the same as the

If you use an external Speedlite and the subject is close, overexposure
may result.
If you use an external Speedlite for a night scene with limited lighting, the
shots may not align correctly. This may result in a blurry picture.
If you use an external Speedlite with a human subject close to the
background that is also illuminated by the flash, the shots may not align
correctly. This may result in a blurry picture. Unnatural shadows and
unsuitable colors may also appear.
Flash coverage angle with an external Speedlite:
• When using a Speedlite with automatic flash coverage setting, the
zoom position will be fixed to the wide (wide-angle) end regardless of
the lens’s zoom position.
• When using a Speedlite requiring manual flash coverage setting, set
the flash head to the normal position.
