∫ Technique for Sports mode
• This mode is effective when taking
pictures during the day in good weather.
• This mode is suitable for taking pictures
outdoors in the daytime when you are 5 m
(16.4 feet) or more away from the subject.
Press [ ] to display the [SCENE MODE]
menu and select this mode. (P50)
This mode allows you to take pictures of a
subject and a landscape with near real-life
brightness by using the flash and slowing
down the shutter speed.
∫ Technique for Night portrait mode
• Use the flash.
• Since the shutter speed becomes slower,
we recommend using a tripod and the
self-timer (P44) for taking pictures.
• Keep the subject still for about 1 second
after taking the picture.
• We recommend rotating the zoom lever to
Wide (1k) and being about 1.5 m
(4.92 feet) from the subject when taking a
picture.
• The focus range is 1.2 m (3.94 feet) to
5 m (16.4 feet). (Refer to P42 for the
available flash range to take pictures.)
• The shutter may remain closed (max.
about 1 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.
