countdown finishes, [PLEASE WAIT...] is displayed for the same
length of time as the set shutter speed for signal processing.

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 optical image stabilizer function is fixed to [OFF].
ISO sensitivity is fixed to [ISO100].
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
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 [ISO100].
This allows you to take even more vivid pictures of the blue color of the sea, sky etc. It also
prevents under exposure 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.
