[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.], [30 sec.] or [60 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, 30 or 60 seconds. Be sure to use a tripod. We also recommend taking pictures with the self-timer.

[Glass Through]

Objects in the distance are prioritized 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 colored. When this happens, change the white balance settings. (P71)

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