Recording pictures (advanced)
59
This mode allows you to take pictures
against a night landscape. The subject can
be recorded with brightness in real life by
using the flash and the slow shutter speed.
∫Technique for Night portrait mode
•Open the flash. (P37)
•Since the shutter speed b ecomes slow
(max. about 1 sec.), we recommend using
a tripod.
•Keep the subject still for about 1 second
after taking a picture.
•Take a picture within the available flash
range (max. about 3.5 m) of the subject.
•We recommend rotating the zoom lever to
Wide.
•The focus range is 2 m – 5 m.
•Be sure to close the f lash when not in use.
•The shutter may be kept closed (max .
about 1 sec.) after taking a picture with
slow shutter speed, but this is not a
malfunction.
•When you take pictures in dark places,
noises may become visible.
•Flas h setting is fixed to Slow sync ./
Red-eye reduction [ ].
•The ISO sensitivity is fixed to [AUTO].
•The setting on the continuous AF is
disabled.
When you take a picture following the
motion of a subject which moves to a
certain direction as a runner or a car, the
background will show some motion blur.
This special effect is called “panning”. This
mode allows you to obtain this effect easier.
∫Technique for Panning mode
To achieve good pictures in panning mode,
pick a horizontal plane– and then pan as
you fire shots.
1 Move the camera smoothly while
tracking a subject in motion.
2 Press the shutter button while moving
the camera.
3 Keep moving the camera continuously.
•Be careful of the following:
–Use the Viewfinder. (P26)
–Select a subject with quick motion.
–Prefocus to the point where the s ubject
will come. (P64)
–Use this mode with burst mode (P43).
Select the best picture from the pictures
taken.
