(You can then select the best pictures from all the pictures taken.)

∫Setting the shutter speed

•It can be set from the quick menu (P23).

•If you select [AUTO], it will not be possible to select the shutter speed.

2Set the shutter speed using 3/4 on the joystick.

Note

•The shutter speed in panning mode becomes slower to achieve the panning effect. As a result, jitter can easily occur.

•The panning function does not work well in the following situations.

–During very bright days in summer. We recommend using an ND filter (DMW-LND46; optional). (P122)

–When the shutter speed is faster than 1/100th.

–When you move the camera too slowly because the subject is moving slowly. (The background will not become a blur.)

–When the camera cannot follow the subject well

•You cannot set the stabilizer function mode to [MODE2] or [AUTO]. When you set it to [MODE1], only vertical jitters can be compensated.

This allows you to take vivid pictures of a starry sky or a dark subject.

∫Setting the shutter speed

∫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.

•We recommend using prefocus (P61) to focus in advance on a subject, such as a bright star or a distant light, that is easy to focus on.
