The shutter speed can be automatically
adjusted. However, if you want brighter
pictures, you can manually select a slower
shutter speed. This is especially effective if
you want to take pictures where both the
night landscape and the subject are bright,
using [NIGHT PORTRAIT] (P58) in scene
mode.
The slow shutter speed values you can
select are: [1/8– ], [1/4– ], [1/2– ] and [1– ].
Example
Usually, set to [1/8 –] to take pictures.
(When you select slow shutter speed
values other than [1/8 –], [ ] appears
on the lower left of the LCD monitor.)
When the shutter speed is made slower
using [SLOW SHUTTER], jitter is likely to
occur. We recommend using a tripod and
the self-timer (P40) for taking pictures.
You cannot set the slow shutter in
[NIGHT SCENERY] (P58), [FIREWORKS]
(P61) and [STARRY SKY] (P62) in scene
mode.
When the digital zoom is set to [ON], the
zoom ratio can be extended to a maximum
of 12k using the 3k optical and 4k digital
zoom functions. It can also be extended to
a maximum of 16.4k using the 4.1k extra
optical zoom and 4k digital zoom functions
if the picture size activates the extra optical
zoom (P70).
Entering the digital zoom range
When you rotate the zoom lever to the
extreme Tele position, the on-screen zoom
indication may momentarily pause. This is
not a malfunction.
You can enter the digital zoom range by
continuously rotating the zoom lever to Tele
or releasing the zoom lever once and then
rotate it to Tele again.
