The shutter speed can be automatically
adjusted. However, if you want brighter
pictures, you can manually select a slower
shutter speed. This is especially effective if
you want to take pictures where both the
night landscape and the subject are bright,
using [NIGHT PORTRAIT] in scene mode
(P56).
The slow shutter speed values you can
select are: [1/8– ], [1/4– ], [1/2– ] and [1– ].
∫Example
•Usually, set to [1/8–] to take pictures.
(When you select slow shutter speed
values other than [1/8– ], [ ] appears
on the lower left of the LCD monitor.)
•When you set shutter speed slower on
[SLOW SHUTTER], we recommend using
a tripod because jitters become easier to
occur.
•You cannot set the slow shutter in
[NIGHT SCENERY] and [FIREWORKS] in
scene mode. (P56)
It is possible to further magnify a subject
already magnified 6 times with the optical
zoom 4 more times with the digital zoom,
thereby reaching a maximum of 24 times.
∫Entering the digital zoom range
When you rotate the zoom lever to the
extreme Tele position, the on-screen zoom
indication may momentarily pause. This is
not a malfunction.
You can enter the digital zoom range by
continuously rotating the zoom lever to Tele
or releasing the zoom lever once and then
rotate it to Tele again.
