(→75)
[Sports]
Takes pictures of scenes with fast movement, e.g. sports.
Tip
•Stand at least 5m (16 feet) away.
Notes
•Sports mode requires adequate lighting, to enable the higher shutter speed
to be used. This mode may not product acceptable results when shooting
indoors, under limited lighting.
•The shutter speed may slow down to 1 second.
[Night Portrait]
Takes pictures of people and nightscapes with close to actual brightness.
Tips
•Use flash.
•The subject should not move.
•Tripod, self-timer recommended.
Notes
•The shutter speed may slow down to 8 seconds.
•After recording, the shutter may stay closed (up to 8 seconds) to process the
signal. This is not a malfunction.
[Night
Scenery]
Takes sharp pictures of night scenes.
Tip
•Tripod, self-timer recommended.
Notes
•The shutter speed may slow down to 8 seconds.
•After recording, the shutter may stay closed (up to 8 seconds) to process the
signal. This is not a malfunction.
[Handheld
Night Shot]
Takes sharp still pictures of night scenes with less camera shake and less
noise by combining a series of still pictures.
Tip
•After the shutter button has been pressed, do not move the camera during the
exposure series.
Note
•Since a series of still pictures are combined after they have been recorded, it
will be a few moments before you will be able to record another picture.
