Setting the shutter speed

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.
Objects in the distance are prioritised for focus.
This mode is ideal for taking pictures of scenery and other landscapes through clear glass,
such as in vehicles or buildings.
• The camera may focus on the glass if it is dirty or has dust on it.
• The pictures taken may not look natural if the glass is coloured. When this happens, change the
white balance settings.
Record the image with a frame around it.
∫
Setting the frame
Select from 6 types of frames.
• The picture size is fixed to 5M (4:3).
• The colour of the frame displayed on the screen and the colour of the frame around the actual image
may differ, but this is not a malfunction.
