SPORTS

High shutter speed clearly captures fast-moving action.

ND : ND EFFECT

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

FG : FOG

Makes the picture look misty white, as when an external
fog filter is attached to the lens. Softens the image and
gives it a “fantasy” look.

TWILIGHT

Dusk, twilight scenery, fireworks, etc., look more natural
and dramatic. The following happens 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 (Z pg. 29).
•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 (Z pg. 28).

S1/2000

(1/2000 sec. High Speed Shutter)

Captures faster action than Sports mode.
NOTES:
●
Only one mode can be engaged at a time.
●
The screen becomes slightly dark in the High
Speed Shutter mode. Use in well-lit
situations.
●
In the “High Speed Shutter” or “Sports”
modes, picture color may be adversely
affected if the subject is lit by alternating
discharge-type light sources such as
flourescent or mercury-vapor lights.
●
This function cannot be activated during
Night-Alive (
