x Shooting Candlelight Portraits
When shooting a human subject in candlelight, use <x> (Candlelight).
The candlelight color tones will be retained in the photo.
Shooting Tips
Use the center AF point to focus.
Aim the center AF point in the viewfinder over the subject, then shoot.
Prevent camera shake if the shutter speed in the viewfinder
blinks.
Under low light when camera shake is prone to occur, the viewfinder's
shutter speed display will blink. Hold the camera steady or use a
tripod. When using a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end to reduce
blur caused by camera shake even while handholding the camera.
Change the color tone.
You can change [Color tone]. To increase the candlelight's reddish
tinge, set it toward [Warm tone]. Set it toward [Cool tone] if it looks
too red.
Live View shooting cannot be used.
The built-in flash will not fire. In low light, the AF-assist beam may be
emitted (p.100).
If you are using an external Speedlite, the Speedlite will fire.
