Basic Night Shots
•Set up you camera on a tripod, and compose your
image, plug in the remote release cable. If you do not
have a remote release cable, you may set the camera
to self timer mode. Choose two seconds which will
allow the camera to settle on the tripod prior to taking
the picture.
•Set the camera to daylight color balance using the
function button and the selector arrows. This will
result in a pleasing warm tone for street lamps and car
headlights etc.
•In automatic mode take a test image, and using the
quick review feature, check the resulting image. Look
at the color balance, exposure, and overall image
sharpness.
•If the resulting image looks acceptable, set the
camera to raw file format and take a second image.
This will allow you more flexibility for editing down the
road.
Advanced Night/Low Light Shots
With the previous steps as a starting point, you may
wish to set the camera to Manual mode to dramatically
alter the scene.
•Switch the shutter speed dial to 2+ and set the aper-
ture to Automatic
•Set the White Balance to Daylight
•Using the selector dial for shutter speeds, take a se-
ries of images ranging from 1/2 second to 8 seconds. As
the aperture is in automatic, your exposures should be
fairly consistent. If you wish, you may switch to manual
aperture for even more control.
•When using manual aperture, you may select the
image histogram view to evaluate your exposures by
pressing the display button until the histogram ap-
pears. The data points should be distributed evenly
between the shadow (left) and highlight (right). You
will notice that the histogram will change color as an
image becomes grossly under or over exposed.
Variations of aperture and shutter speed will dramati-
cally alter the mood of your night and low light pho-
tography. When used in combination with the built-in
flash, the possibilities are endless.
