When you take pictures of subjects such as stars at night or weak lights in a dark situation
(e.g. candles), a slow shutter speed is used. The shutter speed refers to the length of time
the shutter stays open. The longer this time, the longer the subject’s image is exposed.
• For long-exposure shots, always place the camera on a stable surface to take the shot.
• Long exposures cannot be set in the “
”, “
” or “
” scene mode.
• The time that should be set differs depending on the subject. Check this by taking a few trial
shots.
