Recording

- 94 -

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.] or [30 SEC.].

•

Press the shutter release 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 or 30 seconds. Be sure to use a tripod. We also recommend taking

pictures with the self-timer.

• We recommend using prefocus (P74) to focus in advance on a subject, such as a bright star or

a distant light, that is easy to focus on.

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.

1 Aim 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.

2 Press the shutter release button halfway until the focus indication lights up.

3 Set the Manual Focus. (P73)

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

5 Press the shutter release 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.

• Since the shutter speed becomes slower, we recommend using a tripod.

Notes

•

This mode is most effective when the subject is 33' / 10m or more away.

• The shutter speed is fixed to

s or 2 s.

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