Sharp night photo
Clean photos after dark
Night photos come out sharp when the camera is steady and the exposure is long enough.
How to get it
- 1
With a tripod: 1–10 seconds, f/5.6–f/11, ISO 100–800 — the cleanest results.
- 2
Handheld: keep the shutter at 1/60–1/125s or faster, open the aperture wide and raise ISO.
- 3
Use the 2-second timer on a tripod so pressing the button does not shake the camera.
- 4
These are starting points, not universal rules — check the photo and adjust.
