VQT0Q09
This mode allows you to take pictures
against a night landscape. The subject can
be recorded with brightness in real life by
using the flash and slowing down the
shutter speed.
∫ Technique for Night portrait mode
• Open the flash. (P40)
• Since the shutter speed becomes slow,
we recommend using a tripod.
• Keep the subject still for about 1 second
when taking a picture.
• We recommend taking pictures by rotating
the zoom lever to Wide (1k) and being at
a distance about 1.5 m (4.92 feet) from
the subject.
• The focus range is 1.2 m (3.94 feet)– 5 m
(16.4 feet) (Wide), 2 m (6.56 feet)– 5 m
(16.4 feet) (Tele).
(Refer to P41 for the flash control range.)
• Be sure to close the flash when not in use.
• The shutter may be kept closed (max.
about 1 sec.) after taking a picture
because of signal conditioning, but it is not
a malfunction.
• When you take pictures in dark places,
noise may become visible.
• When the flash is set, the flash setting is
fixed to Slow sync./Red-eye reduction
[ ] and the flash is always activated.
• The ISO sensitivity is fixed to [AUTO].
• The setting on the continuous AF is
disabled.
When you take a picture following the
motion of a subject which moves in a
certain direction such as a runner or a car,
the background will show some motion blur.
This special effect is called “panning”. This
mode allows you to obtain this effect easier.
∫ Technique for Panning mode
To achieve good pictures in panning mode,
pick a horizontal plane– and then pan as
you fire shots.
1 Move the camera smoothly while
tracking a subject in motion.
2 Press the shutter button while moving
the camera.
3 Keep moving the camera continuously.
• Be careful of the following:
– Use the Viewfinder. (P27)
– Select a subject with quick motion.
– Prefocus to the point where the subject
will arrive. (P77)
– Use this mode with burst mode. (P48)
Select the best picture from the pictures
taken.
