[SLOW SHUTTER]

Recording bright pictures in dark places

Press [ MENUSET ] to display the [REC] mode menu and select the item to set. (P59) When taking pictures in dark places with low light, you can take pictures which are brighter than normal by selecting a setting even slower than the slowest setting of the shutter speed.

•The slow shutter speeds you can select are: [1/8–], [1/4–], [1/2–] and [1–].

•This is effective if you want to take bright pictures of both a night landscape and a subject using [NIGHT PORTRAIT] (P48) in scene mode.

•This should usually be set to [1/8–] to take pictures. (When you select a slow shutter speed other than [1/8–], [ ] appears on the screen.)

•When the shutter speed is made slower using [SLOW SHUTTER], jitter is likely to occur. We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer (P42) for taking pictures.
