Panasonic DMC-TZ55 High Sens, Starry Sky, Glass Through, Picture Size, Setting the shutter speed

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.

•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. (P91)
