Record pictures that look like dioramas (Miniature

Effect Mode)

Recording Mode:

This gives an effect whereby the periphery of the image is defocused, making the subject look

as if it is a miniature model. Motion pictures can also be recorded with diorama effects that

appear to be played back in fast forward.

¢These pictures are examples to show the effect.

Note

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

are dropping.

•No sound is recorded in motion pictures.

•Approximately 1/8 of the time period is recorded. (If you record for 8minutes, the resulting motion

picture recording will be approximately 1minute long.)

•When taking pictures of a large size, the screen may turn black after taking the picture because of

signal processing. This is not a malfunction.
