Technique for Night Portrait Mode

•
When the camera is set to [STABILIZER] and there is very little jitter, or if [STABILIZER] is set
to [OFF], shutter speed may slow down up to 8 seconds.
•
The shutter may remain closed (max. about 8 sec.) after taking the picture because of signal
processing. This is not a malfunction.
