SPORTS

High shutter speed clearly captures fast-moving action.

SD : SHADOW

A black mist darkens the picture, as when an ND filter is used. Helps to counter the effects of glare on the subject.

HZ : HAZE

Makes the picture look misty white, as if you’re using an external fog filter and softens the image.

TWILIGHT

Dusk, twilight scenery, fireworks, etc., look more natural and dramatic. When Twilight mode is selected:

Auto gain control is turned off.

White Balance is set to FINE (day mode), but can also be manually changed to another mode (see page 67).

Auto Focus becomes available only in the range of 10 m (32 ft.) to infinity. To focus when the subject-to-camera distance is less than 10 m (32 ft.), use manual focusing (see page 66).
