[Fireworks]

This mode allows you to take beautiful pictures of reworks exploding in the night sky.

 Technique for Fireworks Mode

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

Note

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

• The shutter speed becomes 1/4th of a second or 2 seconds.

• You can change the shutter speed by compensating the exposure.

[Beach]

This allows you to take even more vivid pictures of the blue color of the sea, sky etc. It

also prevents underexposure of people under strong sunlight.

Note

• Do not touch the camera with wet hands.

• Problems caused by sand or seawater are not covered by the product warranty.

[Snow]

This allows you to take pictures that show the snow as white as possible at a ski resort or

a snow-covered mountain.
