Shooting with High Speed Night Scene (High Speed Night Scene)

With High Speed Night Scene, the camera detects automatically whether it is being hand-held or on a tripod. When you press the shutter button, the camera will record a series of image and combine them in a way that minimizes image blur due to low light conditions. If the camera detects it is on a tripod, it will shoot a single image using a longer exposure time (instead of shooting and combining multiple images), which results in an even clearer image.

1.Set the mode dial to t (Single Shot), × (High-speed CS), or ª (Flash

CS).

2.Press [BS].

3.Select “High Speed Night Scene”.

•The camera automatically decides whether it is handheld or mounted on tripod at the moment you select the “High Speed Night Scene” BEST SHOT scene. It does not update its decision any time after that, until you select “High Speed Night Scene” again.

4.When you are ready to shoot, press the shutter button.

•After you press the shutter button, the message “Busy... Please wait...” will appear on the monitor screen to indicate that recording is in progress. Keep the camera still while this message is displayed. The recording process takes some time to complete after the message appears.

NOTE

•The following mode dial settings are ignored when shooting with this BEST SHOT scene: t (Single Shot), × (High-speed CS), ª (Flash CS).

•Shooting with this BEST SHOT scene makes the shooting range narrower than normal.

•Movement while the camera is mounted on a tripod may cause the camera to erroneously judge it is being hand held.

•The flash is always turned off and the flash setting cannot be changed while High Speed Night Scene is enabled.

•For handheld shooting under very dark conditions, this BEST SHOT scene may not be able to produce the exposure level required for a clear image. Use of a tripod under very dark conditions is recommended.
