∫ Technique for Night scenery mode
• Since the shutter speed becomes slower
(up to about 8 sec.) use a tripod. We also
recommend using the self-timer (P46) for
taking pictures.
• The focus range is 5 m (16.4 feet) to ¶.
• The shutter may remain closed (max.
about 8 sec.) after taking the picture
because of signal processing. This is not
a malfunction.
• Noise may become visible when you take
pictures in dark places.
• The flash setting is fixed to Forced OFF
[].

When you move the camera to follow a
subject moving in one direction such as a
runner or car, the background becomes a
blur and the subject stays focused. This
effect is called “panning”. This mode allows
you to obtain this effect easier.
∫ Technique for Panning mode
To obtain good pictures in panning mode,
move the camera in a horizontal plane as
you take the pictures.
1 Move the camera smoothly while
following the subject in the viewfinder.
2 Press the shutter button while you are
moving the camera.
3 Move the camera continuously.
• We recommend the following:
– Using the Viewfinder. (P38)
– Selecting a subject with quick motion.
– Using prefocus. (P58)
– Use this mode with burst mode. (P50)
(You can then select the best pictures
from all the pictures taken.)
• The shutter speed in panning mode
becomes slower to achieve the panning
effect. As a result, jitter can easily occur.
• The panning function does not work well
in the following situations.
– During very bright days in summer. We
recommend using an ND filter
(DMW-LND52; optional). (P105)
– When the shutter speed is faster than
1/100th.
– When you move the camera too slowly
because the subject is moving slowly.
(The background will not become a blur.)
