Recording

[Night Scenery]

This allows you to take vivid pictures of the nightscape.

Note

•We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer for taking pictures.

•Shutter speed may slow down up to 8 seconds.

•The shutter may remain closed (max. about 8 sec.) after taking the picture because of signal processing. This is not a malfunction.

•Noise may become visible when you take pictures in dark places.

[Handheld Night Shot]

This mode allows you to record multiple pictures of night scenes at high speed, which are all combined to make a single picture. It will reduce the jitter and noise from the picture even when recording with the camera in your hand.

∫Picture size and aspect ratio

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

Note

•Take pictures in sequence and combine them into one picture.

•Do not move the camera while recording pictures continuously.

•Noise may become visible when you take pictures in dark places or take pictures of moving subjects.

[Food]

This mode allows you to take pictures of food with a natural hue without being affected by the ambient light in restaurants etc.

[Party]

Select this when you want to take pictures at a wedding reception, an indoor party etc. This allows you to take pictures of people and the background with near real-life brightness.

∫Technique for Party Mode

•Use the flash. (You can set to [Š] or [‹].)

•We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer for taking pictures.

•It is recommended to take picture about 1.5 m (5 feet) away from the subject, after setting the zoom to full W (wide) by pressing [W] of the zoom button.

[Candle Light]

This mode allows you to take pictures with a candle-lit atmosphere.

∫Technique for Candle Light Mode

•This is more effective when taking pictures without using the flash.

Note

•We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer for taking pictures.

•Shutter speed may slow down up to 1 second.
