The shutter speed can be automatically adjusted. However, if you want brighter pictures, you can manually select a slower shutter speed. This is especially effective if you want to take pictures where both the night landscape and the subject are bright, using [NIGHT PORTRAIT] (P59) in scene mode.

The slow shutter speed values you can select are: [1/8 – ], [1/4 – ], [1/2 – ] and [1 – ].

Example

1/8–1–

Usually, set to [1/8 –] to take pictures. (When you select slow shutter speed

values other than [1/8 – ], [ ] appears on the lower left of the LCD monitor.)

When the shutter speed is made slower using [SLOW SHUTTER], jitter is likely to occur. We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer (P41) for taking pictures.

You cannot set the slow shutter in [NIGHT SCENERY] (P59), [FIREWORKS] (P62) and [STARRY SKY] (P63) in scene mode.

When the digital zoom is set to [ON], the zoom ratio can be extended to a maximum of 12k using the 3k optical and 4k digital zoom functions. It can also be extended to

amaximum of 16.4k using the 4.1k extended optical zoom and 4k digital zoom functions if the picture size activates the extended optical zoom (P71).

Entering the digital zoom range When you rotate the zoom lever to the extreme Tele position, the on-screen zoom indication may momentarily pause. This is not a malfunction.

You can enter the digital zoom range by continuously rotating the zoom lever to Tele or releasing the zoom lever once and then rotate it to Tele again.
