Range of Features
Use this program in places where the
background is so bright that the subject appears
underexposed in the display a sunny beach or
ski resort, for example. You may notice some
shudder when recording moving subjects.

Low Light
This program allows you to record in dimly lit
places. The shutter speed is fixed at a slow
speed. It is generally best used for close-ups of
slow or stationary subjects, as moving subjects
may leave a trailing after-image. However, you
can take advantage of this to create special
effects, by rapid zooming or by panning along
with a moving subject. Picture quality will not
be as good as in normal lighting conditions, and
autofocus may not work as well as usual.
LOW LIGHT
This program automatically adjusts the shutter
speed according to the brightness of the subject
even in dark places (night time, etc.) to shoot
subjects brightly in colour. It is useful for
shooting subjects in dark places where lighting
cannot be used and for shooting night scenes.
When you record in very dark places:
Moving subjects may leave a trailing after-
image.
Though subjects can be shot brightly, picture
quality may not be as good as in normal
lighting.
White points may appear in the display.
Autofocus may not work as well as usual (in
this case, adjust the focus manually).
You cannot use the Night recording program in
CARD CAMERA mode.
