is displayed for the same length of time as the set
shutter speed for signal processing.

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].
