[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

•The flash setting is fixed to [Œ].

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

•The shutter speed changes accordingly:

–When [OFF] is set on the Optical Image Stabilizer function: Fixed to 2 seconds

–When [AUTO], [MODE1] or [MODE2] is set on the Optical Image Stabilizer function: 1/4th of a second or 2 seconds (The shutter speed becomes 2 seconds only when the camera has determined that there is little jitter such as when using a tripod etc.)

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

•The AF area is not displayed.

•ISO sensitivity is fixed to [ISO80].

[BEACH]

This allows you to take even more vivid pictures of the blue color of the sea, sky etc. It also prevents underexposure of people under strong sunlight.

Note

•The initial setting for [AF MODE] is [š].

•Do not touch the camera with wet hands.

•Sand or seawater will cause the camera to malfunction. Make sure that sand or seawater does not get onto the lens or in the terminals.

•Problems caused by sand, seawater and fresh water are not covered by the product warranty.

[SNOW]

This allows you to take pictures that show the snow as white as possible at a ski resort or a snow-covered mountain.
