4[FIREWORKS]

This mode allows you to take beautiful pictures of fireworks exploding in the night sky.

Technique for Fireworks mode

We recommend performing the following steps to prefocus on the point the pictures will be taken so that you do not miss taking pictures of the fireworks when they are fired.

1Aim the camera at an object, such as a distant light, that is about the same distance from the camera as the point where the fireworks will rise.

2Press the shutter button halfway until the focus indication (P36) lights.

3 Press the [AF/MF] to select [MF]. (P59)

4 Aim the camera in the direction that the fireworks will be fired and wait.

5 Press the shutter button fully to take the picture when the fireworks are fired.

If zoom was used, the focus position will not be correct. Perform steps 2 to 5 again.

We recommend using a tripod.

Note

The focus range is 5 m to in AF mode. (We recommend performing steps 1 to 5 for prefocus.)

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

The shutter speed becomes the following.

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.

ISO sensitivity is fixed to [ISO100].

6[BEACH]

This allows you to take even more vivid pictures of the blue color of the sea, sky etc. It also prevents under exposure 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 into the lens or the terminals.

Problems caused by sand or seawater are not covered by the product warranty.

8[SNOW]

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

7[AERIAL PHOTO]

This mode allows you to take pictures through an airplane window.
