Recording pictures (advanced)
61
This mode allows you to take pictures
against a night landscape. The subject can
be recorded with brightness in real life by
using the flash and the slow shutter speed.
∫
Technique for Night portrait mode
• Open the flash. (P39)
• Since the shutter speed becomes slow
(max. about 1 sec.), we recommend using
a tripod.
• Keep the subject still for about 1 second
after taking a picture.
• Take a picture within the available flash
range (about 30 cm – 2.3 m) of the
subject.
• We recommend rotating the zoom lever to
Wide.
• The focus range is 120 cm – 5 m.
• Be sure to close the flash when not in use.
• The shutter may be kept closed (max.
about 1 sec.) after taking a picture with
slow shutter speed, but this is not a
malfunction.
• When you take pictures in dark places,
noises may become visible.
• Flash setting is fixed to Slow sync./
Red-eye reduction [
].
• The ISO sensitivity is fixed to [AUTO].
• The setting on the continuous AF is
disabled.
When you take a picture following the
motion of a subject which moves to a
certain direction as a runner or a car, the
background will show some motion blur.
This special effect is called “panning”. This
mode allows you to obtain this effect easier.
∫
Technique for Panning mode
To achieve good pictures in panning mode,
pick a horizontal plane – and then pan as
you fire shots.
