∫Technique for Fireworks mode We recommend following the prefocus procedure below to ensure that you do not miss the chance to take pictures.

1 Set the focus switch to [MF] (P46).

2 Aim the camera at an object (such as

illumination on a building), which is roughly the same distance as the point of fireworks.

3 Press the [FOCUS] button until the focus indication (P37) lights.

4 Aim the camera at the direction where the fireworks will be exploding.

5 Press the shutter button fully when fireworks are exploding.

• When you zoom away from or towards the subject, repeat steps 2 to 5 since the focus position becomes misaligned.

• We recommend using a tripod.
