Technique for Starry sky mode
The shutter opens for 15, 30 or 60 seconds. Be sure to use a tripod. We also recommend
taking pictures with the self-timer.
Note
The optical image stabilizer function is fixed to [OFF].
ISO sensitivity is fixed to [ISO100].
This mode allows you to take beautiful pictures of fireworks 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 10m (32.8 feet) or more away.
The shutter speed becomes the following.
When [OFF] is set on the optical image stabilizer function: Fixed to 2 seconds
When [MODE1] or [MODE2] is set on the optical image stabilizer function: 1/4th of a second
or 2 seconds (The shutter speed becomes 2seconds only when the camera has determined
that there is little jitter such as when using a tripod etc.)
You can change the shutter speed by compensating the exposure.
The AF area is not displayed.
ISO sensitivity is fixed to [ISO100].
