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

∫Technique for Starry Sky Mode

•The shutter opens for 15, 30 or 60 seconds. Be sure to use a tripod. We also recommend taking pictures with the self-timer.

[Fireworks]

This mode allows you to take beautiful pictures of fireworks exploding in the night sky.

∫Technique for Fireworks Mode

•Since the shutter speed becomes slower, we recommend using a tripod.

Note

•This mode is most effective when the subject is 10 m (33 feet) or more away.

•The shutter speed is fixed to 1/4th of a second or 2 seconds.

•You can change the shutter speed by compensating the exposure.

•The AF area is not displayed.

[Aerial Photo]

This mode allows you to take pictures through an airplane window.

∫Technique for Aerial Photo Mode

•We recommend using this technique if it is difficult to focus when taking pictures of clouds etc. Aim the camera at something with high contrast, press the shutter button halfway to fix the focus and then aim the camera at the subject and press the shutter button fully to take the picture.
