[SCENE MODE] menu (Refer to P71 for information about how to select the menu.)
This mode allows you to take a picture
according to the atmosphere of the
situation (e.g. a wedding reception, a party
in a dark room, etc.).
Both the people and the background can
be recorded with brightness in real life by
using the flash and slowing down the
shutter speed.
∫ Technique for Party mode
• Open the flash. (P49)
• Since the shutter speed becomes slow,
we recommend using a tripod and the
self-timer (P53) for taking pictures.
• We recommend taking pictures with zoom
set to Wide (1k) and a distance of about
1.5 m from the subject.
• The flash setting can be set to Slow sync./
Red-eye reduction [ ] or Forced ON/
Red-eye reduction [ ].
• The ISO sensitivity is fixed to [AUTO].
This mode allows you to take beautiful
pictures of fireworks exploding in the night
sky. The shutter speed or the exposure is
automatically adjusted for taking pictures of
fireworks.
∫ Technique for Fireworks mode
We recommend following the prefocus
procedure below to ensure that you do not
miss the chance to take pictures.
1 Set the focus switch to [MF] (P46).
2 Aim the camera at an object (such as
illumination on a building), which is
roughly the same distance as the point of
fireworks.
3 Press the [FOCUS] button until the focus
indication (P37) lights.
4 Aim the camera at the direction where
the fireworks will be exploding.
5 Press the shutter button fully when
fireworks are exploding.
• When you zoom away from or towards the
subject, repeat steps 2 to 5 since the
focus position becomes misaligned.
• We recommend using a tripod.
