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.
We recommend using prefocus (P74) to focus in advance on a subject, such as a bright star or
a distant light, that is easy to focus on.
Note
During motion picture recording, low light settings [ ] are used, which will provide
better pictures in dimly lit rooms or at nightfall.
The flash setting is fixed to [Œ].
The Optical Image Stabilizer Function is fixed to [OFF].
ISO sensitivity is fixed to [ISO80].
