Advanced (Recording pictures)
This allows you to take vivid pictures of a starry sky or a dark subject.
∫ Setting the shutter speed
Select a shutter speed of [15 SEC.], [30 SEC.] or [60 SEC.].
1 Press 3/4 to select the number of seconds and then press [MENU/SET].
• It is also possible to change the number of seconds using the quick menu. (P21)
2 Take pictures.
• Press the shutter button fully to display the countdown screen. Do
not move the camera after this screen is displayed. When
countdown finishes, [PLEASE WAIT...] is displayed for the same
length of time as the set shutter speed for signal processing.
• Press [MENU/SET] to stop taking the picture while the countdown
screen is displayed.
∫ Technique for Starry sky mode
•The shutter opens for 15, 30 or 60 seconds. Be sure to use a tripod. We also recommend
taking pictures with the self-timer.
Note
•The flash setting is fixed to [Œ].
•The Optical image stabilizer function is fixed to [OFF].
•ISO sensitivity is fixed to [ISO80].
This mode allows you to take beautiful pictures of fireworks exploding in the night sky.
∫ Technique for Fireworks mode
•Since the shutter speed becomes slower, we recommend using a tripod.
Note
•The flash setting is fixed to [Œ].
•This mode is most effective when the subject is 10 m (32.8 feet) or more away.
•The shutter speed becomes the following.
– When [OFF] is set on the Optical image stabilizer function: Fixed to 2 seconds
– When [AUTO], [MODE1] or [MODE2] is set on the Optical image stabilizer function: 1/4th of a
second or 2 seconds (The shutter speed becomes 2 seconds only when the camera has
determined that there is little jitter such as when using a tripod etc.)
– You can change the shutter speed by compensating the exposure.
•The AF area is not displayed.
•ISO sensitivity is fixed to [ISO80].
This allows you to take even more vivid pictures of the blue color of the sea, sky etc. It also
prevents underexposure of people under strong sunlight.
Note
•The initial setting for [AF MODE] is [š].
•Do not touch the camera with wet hands.
•Sand or seawater will cause the camera to malfunction. Make sure that sand or seawater does
not get into the lens or the terminals.
•Problems caused by sand or seawater are not covered by the product warranty.
