Canon ZR40 instruction manual Sand & Snow, Low Light, Night

Sand & Snow

Use this program in places where the background is so bright that the subject appears underexposed in the display — a sunny beach or ski resort, for example. You may notice some shudder when recording moving subjects.

Low Light

This program allows you to record in dimly lit places. The shutter speed is fixed at a slow speed. It is generally best used for close-ups of slow or stationary subjects, as moving subjects may leave a trailing after-image. However, you can take advantage of this to create special effects, by rapid zooming or by panning along with a moving subject. Picture quality will not be as good as in normal lighting conditions, and autofocus may not work as well as usual.

Night

This program automatically adjusts the shutter speed according to the brightness of the subject even in dark places (night time, etc.) to shoot subjects brightly in color. It is useful for shooting subjects in dark places where lighting cannot be used and for shooting night scenes. When you record in very dark places:

•Moving subjects may leave a trailing after- image.

•Though subjects can be shot brightly, picture quality may not be as good as in normal lighting.

•White points may appear in the display.

•Autofocus may not work as well as usual (in this case, adjust the focus manually).
