Press [ ] to display the [SCENEMODE]
menu and select a scene mode. (P62)
When you move the camera to follow a
subject moving in one direction such as a
runner or car, the background becomes a
blur and the subject stays focused. This
effect is called “panning”. This mode allows
you to obtain this effect easier.
∫Technique for Panning mode
To obtain good pictures in panning mode,
move the camera in a horizontal plane as
you take the pictures.
1Move the camera smoothly while
following the subject in the viewfinder.
2Press the shutter button while you are
moving the camera.
3Move the camera continuously.
•We recommend the following:
–Using the Viewfinder. (P38)
–Selecting a subject with quick motion.
–Using prefocus. (P61)
–Use this mode w ith burst mode. (P51)
(You can then select the best pictures
from all the pictures taken.)
•The shutter speed in panning mode
becomes slower to achieve the panning
effect. As a result, jitter can easily occur.
•The panning funct ion does not work well
in the following situations.
–During very bright days in summer. We
recommend using an ND filter
(DMW-LND52; optional). (P118)
–When the shutter speed is faster than
1/100th.
–When you move the camera too slowly
because the subject is moving slowly.
(The background will not become a blur.)
•You cannot set the stabilizer function
mode to [MODE2]. When you set it to
[MODE1], only vertical jitters can be
compensated in panning mode.
•The settings on the AF assist lamp and
the continuous AF are disabled.
•The white balance cannot be set.
Press [ ] to display the [SCENE MODE]
menu and select a scene mode. (P62)
This allows you to take pictures of a person
and the background with near real-life
brightness.
∫Technique for Night portrait mode
•Use the fla sh.
•Since the shutter speed becomes slower,
we recommend using a tripod and the
self-timer (P47) for taking pictures.
•Keep the subject still for about 1 second
after taking the picture.
•We recommend rotating the zoom lever to
Wide (1k) and being about 1.5 m
(4.92 feet) from the subject when taking a
picture.
•The focus range is 1.2 m (3.94 feet) to
5 m (16.4 feet). (Refer to P44 for the
available flash range to take pictures.)
•Be sure to close the f lash when not in use.
•The shutter may remain closed (max.
about 1 sec.) after taking the picture
because of signal processing. This is not
a malfunction.
•Noise may become visible when you take
pictures in dark places.
•When using the flash, Slow sync./Red-eye
reduction [ ] is selected and the
flash is activated every time.
•The continuous AF setting is disabled.
•The white balance cannot be set.
