Technique for Fireworks mode
• Since the shutter speed becomes slower,
we recommend using a tripod.
• This mode is most effective when the
subject is 10 m (32.8 feet) or more away.
• The shutter speed becomes the following.
– When [OFF] is set on the optical image
stabilizer function: Fixed to 1 second
– When [MODE1] or [MODE2] is set on
the optical image stabilizer function:
1/4th or 1 second (The shutter speed
becomes 1 second only when the
camera has determined that there is
little jitter such as when using a tripod
etc.)
• Histograms are always displayed in
orange. (P38)
• The flash setting is fixed to Forced OFF
[
].
• The setting on the AF assist lamp and
continuous AF are disabled.
