Panasonic DMC-TZ8 Exposure, MIN. Shtr Speed, Recording Mode Settings OFF/LOW/STANDARD/HIGH

Page 102

Using the [REC] menu (Continued)

[I.EXPOSURE]

Automatically adjusts contrast and exposure to give more lifelike colours when there is significant contrast between background and subject.

Recording Mode:

Settings: [OFF]/[LOW]/[STANDARD]/[HIGH]

[LOW], [STANDARD] and [HIGH] indicate the amount of correction. If the setting is other than [OFF], is displayed on the screen. When [I.EXPOSURE] works, the colour of changes.

Even if [SENSITIVITY] is set to [80] or [100], when [I.EXPOSURE] is activated, pictures may be taken at a higher sensitivity than the setting.

Correction effects may not be achieved under certain conditions.

[MIN. SHTR SPEED]

Sets shutter speed to minimum. We recommend using slower shutter speeds to take brighter pictures in dark locations.

Recording Mode:

Settings: [AUTO] [1/250] [1/125] [1/60] [1/30] [1/15] [1/8] [1/4] [1/2] [1]

Slower shutter speeds allow for brighter pictures but increase risk of jitter, so we recommend using a tripod and the self-timer.

As still pictures may become dark when using faster values such as [1/250], we recommend that still pictures are taken in bright locations ( flashes red when shutter button is half-pressed if still picture will be dark).

displayed on screen for settings other than [AUTO].
