Panasonic DMC-SZ9 manual High Sens, Starry Sky, Glass Through, Photo Frame

Recording

[High Sens.]

This mode minimises the jitter of the subjects, and enables you to take pictures of these subjects in dimly lit rooms.

∫Picture Size

Select the picture size of 3M (4:3), 2.5M (3:2), 2M (16:9) or 2.5M (1:1).

[Starry Sky]

This mode allows you to take vivid pictures of a starry sky or a dark subject.

∫Setting the shutter speed

Select a shutter speed of [15 sec.] or [30 sec.].

•Press the shutter button fully to display the countdown screen. Do not move the camera after this screen is displayed. When countdown finishes, [Please wait...] is displayed for the same length of time as the set shutter speed for signal processing.

∫Technique for Starry Sky Mode

•The shutter opens for 15 or 30 seconds. Be sure to use a tripod. We also recommend taking pictures with the self-timer.

[Glass Through]

Objects in the distance are prioritised for focus.

This mode is ideal for taking pictures of scenery and other landscapes through clear glass, such as in vehicles or buildings.

•The camera may focus on the glass if it is dirty or has dust on it.

•The pictures taken may not look natural if the glass is coloured. When this happens, change the white balance settings. (P84)

[Photo Frame]

Record the image with a frame around it.

∫Setting the frame

Select from 6 types of frames.

•The picture size is fixed to 5M (4:3).

•The colour of the frame displayed on the screen and the colour of the frame around the actual image may differ, but this is not a malfunction.
