Shooting Features
Low Noise Night Mode (Shooting Low-lit Scenes)
The ISO sensitivity is controlled automatically to a high
level. This allows you to capture the atmosphere of a
low-lit scene and shoot pictures with a low amount of
noise without using the flash. It also reduces the effects
of camera shake and subject movement when shooting
at the telephoto zoom position.
• The ISO sensitivity is set automatically within the range of ISO 400 to 12800.
• To use the flash, raise the flash.
• The focus area for autofocus differs depending on the setting of AF area mode
that can be selected in the O tab after pressing the d button.
• When AF area mode is set to Auto (default setting), the camera has nine focus
areas, and automatically selects the focus areas containing the subject closest to
the camera. When the subject is in focus, the focus area (active focus area) lights
in green (maximum of nine areas).
B Notes on Low Noise Night Mode
• Although vibration is reduced even in low-lit environments, a tripod is recommended when not
using a flash. Set Vibration reduction (A105) to Off when using a tripod to stabilize the camera.
• The picture taken may be grainy, because the shooting is performed with ISO sensitivity set to a
high level.
• The appropriate exposure may not be obtained (overexposure) in clear sunlight, because the
shooting is always performed at ISO 400 or higher.
• The camera may be unable to focus in extremely dark environments.
• The slowest shutter speed is restricted to 1/4 second.
• In low noise night mode, the available image size (A73) is C 2048×1536 or smaller.
C Built-in ND Filter
When the subject is too bright, set Built-in ND filter in the setup menu (A104) to reduce the light
and shoot.
