Panasonic DMC-GF5 owner manual 119, Clear Night Portrait, Soft Image of a Flower

Recording

[Clear Night Portrait]

Fill flash and a longer exposure capture better portraits against the nightscape.

Note

•Open the flash. (You can set to [ ].)

•We recommend using a tripod and the Self-timer for taking pictures.

•When [Clear Night Portrait] is selected, keep the subject still for about 1 second after taking the picture.

•The shutter may remain closed after taking the picture. This is due to signal processing and is not a malfunction.

•Noise may become visible when you take pictures in dark places.

[Soft Image of a Flower]

The soft focus creates a diffused image.

Note

•We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer.

•For close-up recording, we recommend that you close the flash and avoid using it.

•Display of the recording screen will be delayed more than usual and the screen will look as if frames are dropping.

•The focus range is different depending on lens used. Refer to “About the focus distance reference mark” on P98 for the focus range.

•When a subject is close to the camera, the effective focus range is significantly narrowed. Therefore, if the distance between the camera and the subject is changed after focusing on the subject, it may become difficult to focus on it again.

•Close-up regions are prioritized when taking pictures, and so time is required to focus if you take a picture of a distant subject.

•When you take pictures at close range, the resolution of the periphery of the picture may decrease slightly. This is not a malfunction.

•If the lens becomes dirty with fingerprints or dust, the lens may not be able to focus on the subject correctly.
