Sony DSLR-A560 User Manual

• When you want finer images, set the mode dial to P, A, S, or M and use 

the creative style function (page 112). In such cases, you can adjust the 
exposure, ISO, etc., even when you select a suitable setting for the 
subject.

Notes
• Since the camera judges the settings automatically, many features will be 

unavailable, such as exposure compensation, ISO setting.

• The flash is set to [Autoflash] or [Flash Off] for each Scene Selection mode. You can 

change these settings (page 98).

 (Night View)

Shoots night scenes at a distance 
without losing the dark atmosphere of 
the surroundings.
• The shutter speed is slower, so using 

a tripod is recommended.

• The picture may not be taken 

properly when shooting a wholly dark night scene.

 (Hand-held 

Twilight)

Shoots night scenes with less noise and 
blur without using a tripod. A burst of 
shots are taken, and image processing 
is applied to reduce subject blur, 
camera shake, and noise.
• Reducing blur is less effective even 

in [Hand-held Twilight] when shooting:
– Subjects with erratic movement
– Subjects are too close to the camera
– Subjects with a repeating pattern such as tiles, and 

subjects with little contrast such as sky, sandy beach, or 
lawn

– Subjects with constant change such as waves or water 

falls

• In the case of [Hand-held Twilight], block noise may occur 

when using a light source that flickers, such as fluorescent 
lighting.

 (Night Portrait)

Shoots portraits in night scenes.
• The shutter speed is slower, so using 

a tripod is recommended.
