•In panning mode, the shutter speed
becomes slower than usual to achieve the
panning effect. As a result, jitter can easily
occur.
•Panning function does not work well in the
following situations.
–Very bright scenes such as daytime in
summer. We recommend using an ND
filter (DMW-LND55; optional). (P103)
–When the s hutter speed is faster than
1/100th.
–When the subject moves slowly and the
tracking speed is too slow. (The
background cannot be recorded
dynamically.)
•The stabilizer function is fixed to
[MODE1]. In panning mode, only vertical
jitters can be compensated.
•The ISO sensitivity is fixed to [ISO80]
(DMC-FZ5)/[ISO64] (DMC-FZ4).
•The settings on the AF assist lamp and
the continuous AF are disabled.
This mode allows you to take beautiful
pictures of fireworks exploding in the night
sky. The shutter speed or the exposure is
automatically adjusted for taking pictures of
fireworks.
∫Technique for Fireworks mode
We recommend following the prefocus
procedure below to ensure that you do not
miss the chance to take pictures.
1Set the [AF TRIGGER] to [FOCUS].
(P77)
2Aim the camera at an object (such as
illumination on a building), which is
roughly the same distance as the point of
fireworks.
3Press the [FOCUS] button until the focus
indication (P77) lights.
4Aim the camera at the direction where
the fireworks will be exploding.
5Press the shutter button fully when
fireworks are exploding.
•When you zoom away from or towards the
subject, repeat steps 2– 5 since the focus
position becomes misaligned.
•We recommend using a tripod.
