Panasonic DMC-LX2 operating instructions Example of Program shift

•We recommend checking that the clock is set properly before taking pictures. (P20)

•When you press the shutter button, the screen may become bright or dark for a moment. This function allows easy adjustment of focus and the recorded picture will not be affected.

•When the time for power save is set (P23), the camera is automatically turned off if you do not operate it within the set time. When operating the camera again, press the shutter button halfway or turn the camera off and on.

•To avoid picture noise, we recommend decreasing the ISO sensitivity, setting [NOISE REDUCTION] in [PICT.ADJ.] to [HIGH] or setting every item except [NOISE REDUCTION] to [LOW]. (P91) (ISO sensitivity is set to [AUTO] when the camera is shipped. Therefore, when taking pictures indoors etc. the ISO sensitivity increases.)

nProgram shift

In Program AE mode, you can change the preset aperture value and the shutter speed under the same exposure. This is called Program shift.

By this function, you can make the background more blurred (by decreasing the aperture value) or record the moving subject more dynamically (by setting to slow shutter speed) in Program AE mode.

•Press the shutter button halfway and perform the program shift with the joystick while the aperture value and the shutter speed are displayed (about 10 seconds).
