G NIGHT LANDSCAPE
A slow shutter speed is used to produce stunning night land-
scapes.
For EFFECT 1, pictures do not have as much noise as with nor-
mal shooting. Use of a tripod is recommended.
For EFFECT 2, point sources of light radiate out in addition to
the effects for EFFECT 1. This causes the nightscape to stand out. Use of a tripod is
recommended.
• Focus is fixed at infinity. Focus indicator lights whenever shutter-release button is
pressed halfway.
• Noise reduction turns on automatically at slow shutter speeds. It takes more time
than usual to store the picture.
• AF-assist illuminator does not light even if for a dark subject.
