Characteristics of Each Scene
Use of a tripod is recommended in scene modes with O indicated due to slow
shutter speed.
Set Vibration reduction in the setup menu (A103) to Off when using a
tripod to stabilize the camera.
For scene modes that use the flash, be sure to press the
m (flash pop-up) button
to raise the flash before shooting (A56).
X Night landscape
Press the d button to select Y Hand-held or Z Tripod in Night landscape.
Y Hand-held (default setting): This enables you to shoot with the minimum of camera
shake and noise even when holding the camera by hand.
- When the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, pictures are shot continuously,
and the camera combines these pictures to save a single picture.
- Once the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, hold the camera steady without
moving it until a still picture is displayed. After taking a picture, do not turn the camera
off before the monitor switches to the shooting screen.
- The angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) seen in the saved image is narrower
than that seen on the monitor at the time of shooting.
Z Tripod: Select this mode when the camera is stabilized, such as with a tripod.
- Vibration reduction is not used even if Vibration reduction in the setup menu
(A103) is set to Normal or Active.
- Press the shutter-release button all the way to shoot a single picture at a slow shutter
speed.
When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the camera adjusts the focus to
infinity. The focus area or focus indicator (A12) always lights in green.
