∫Technique for Fireworks mode

•Since the shutter speed becomes slower, we recommend using a tripod.

•This mode is most effective when the subject is 10 m (32.8 feet) or more away.

•The shutter speed becomes the following.

–When the optical image stabilizer is set to [OFF]: Maximum 2 second

–When the optical image stabilizer is set to [MODE1] or [MODE2]:

Maximum 1/4th of a second or 2 second (The shutter speed becomes a maxiumum of 2 second only when the camera has determined that there is little jitter such as when using a tripod etc.)

•Histograms are always displayed in orange. (P36)

•The flash setting is fixed to Forced OFF [ ].
