Advanced (Recording pictures)
This allows you to take vivid pictures of a starry sky or a dark subject.
∫ Setting the shutter speed
Select a shutter speed of [15 SEC.], [30 SEC.] or [60 SEC.].
1 Move 3/4 to select the number of seconds and then press [MENU/SET].
• It is also possible to change the number of seconds using the quick menu. (P21)
2 Take pictures.
• Press the shutter button fully to display the countdown screen. Do
not move the camera after this screen is displayed. When
countdown finishes, [PLEASE WAIT...] is displayed for the same
length of time as the set shutter speed for signal processing.
• Press [MENU/SET] to stop taking the picture while the countdown
screen is displayed.
∫ 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.
Note
• The flash setting is fixed to [Œ].
• The Optical image stabilizer function is fixed to [OFF].
• ISO sensitivity is fixed to [ISO80].
This mode allows you to take beautiful pictures of fireworks exploding in the night sky.
∫ Technique for Fireworks mode
• Since the shutter speed becomes slower, we recommend using a tripod.
Note
• The flash setting is fixed to [Œ].
• This mode is most effective when the subject is 10 m (32.8 feet) or more away.
• The shutter speed changes accordingly:
– When [OFF] is set on the Optical image stabilizer function: Fixed to 2 seconds
– When [AUTO], [MODE1] or [MODE2] is set on the Optical image stabilizer function: 1/4th of a
second or 2 seconds (The shutter speed becomes 2 seconds only when the camera has
determined that there is little jitter such as when using a tripod etc.)
– You can change the shutter speed by compensating the exposure.
• The AF area is not displayed.
• ISO sensitivity is fixed to [ISO80].
This allows you to take even more vivid pictures of the blue color of the sea, sky etc. It also
prevents underexposure of people under strong sunlight.
Note
• The initial setting for [AF MODE] is [š].
• Do not touch the camera with wet hands.
• Sand or seawater will cause the camera to malfunction. Make sure that sand or seawater does
not get onto the lens or in the terminals.
• Problems caused by sand or seawater are not covered by the product warranty.
