Technique for Fireworks mode

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

This mode is most effective when the subject is 10 m (32.8 feet) or more away.

The shutter speed becomes the following.

When [OFF] is set on the optical image stabilizer function: Fixed to 1 second

When [MODE1] or [MODE2] is set on the optical image stabilizer function: 1/4th or 1 second (The shutter speed becomes 1 second only when the camera has determined that there is little jitter such as when using a tripod etc.)

Histograms are always displayed in orange. (P38)

The flash setting is fixed to Forced OFF [ ].

The setting on the AF assist lamp and continuous AF are disabled.

You cannot set the slow shutter.

Starry sky mode

Press [ MENUSET ] to display the [SCENE MODE] menu and select this mode. (P50)

This mode allows you to take vivid pictures of a starry sky or a dark subject that you could not take in [NIGHT SCENERY] by making the shutter speed slower.
