3. Night Photography Tips
3.1 Adjust the OExposure Time� according to the brightness of the ambient condition of
the background scene. It is recommended to make test short in ascending order
from 0.5 second until you get a good exposure. (Please refer to above chart)
3.1.1 Pay attention to the contrast of the ambient lighting condition of the
background, try to balance and achieve an even background scene.
3.1.2 Pay attention to the ambient condition, such as moving subject, highly
reflective material, bright light in the foreground.
3.1.3 Night photography under foggy conditions will result in haze of
picture/image. The picture will look flat, low contrast and cloudy.
3.2 Effective flash range is from 0.6M to 3.0M (2 ft. to 10 ft.)
3.2.1 Pay attention to the distance between the subject and camera.
3.2.1.1 Too close results in over exposure of the subject
3.2.1.2 Too far results in under exposure of the subject
3.2.2 Use external supplementary strobe and synchronize the built-in flash to
acquire more powerful front or fill-in flash for the subject, when the built-in
main flash is found not powerful enough.
3.2.3 Pay attention to the brightness of the ambient lighting condition and the
color temperature of the subject
3.2.3.1 If too bright: - the color temperature of the subject will be influenced
by the ambient light.
3.2.3.2 If under a dark condition: - the built-in strobe is the main flash for the
subject, the color temperature of the subject will not be affected.
3.2.3.3 And therefore, the subject should be in the shade or low ambient
lighting environment.
3.2.3.4 The subject should also be far away from cool lighting
3.2.4 Pay attention to the contrast (brightness) of the background and the
foreground.
3.2.5 Tungsten and neon light may make the picture appear red/yellow, but in
many cases, it enhances the atmosphere and makes the picture look
warm.
4. Other important notes
4.1 Opening and closing the strobe frequently will damage the circuit and break the
strobe.
4.2 Close the strobe when the camera is not in use.
4.3 The Oempty pack function� of the picture counter will be disabled when the cable
release is in use. Therefore, if you press the cable release when the counter
reaches O0� position, the shutter will still function, but as the film pack is empty, no
picture will be ejected. Replace with a new film pack to resume picture taking.
