•

The setting is fixed to [MODE2] with [SELF PORTRAIT] in scene mode and to [OFF] in

[STARRY SKY] in scene mode.

•

In motion picture mode, [AUTO] or [MODE2] cannot be set.

For details on [REC] mode menu settings, refer to P18.
You can take a picture brightly in dark places by setting [MIN. SHTR SPEED] slower. Also,
you can set it faster to reduce the blur of the subject.
Applicable modes:

[1/250], [1/125], [1/60], [1/30], [1/15], [1/8], [1/4], [1/2], [1]

Note

•

This should usually be set to [1/8 ] to take pictures. (When you select a minimum shutter speed

other than [1/8 ], [

] appears on the screen.)

•

Setting [MIN. SHTR SPEED] to slower speed might increase the chance of jitter, so we

recommend using a tripod and the self-timer for taking pictures.

•

Setting [MIN. SHTR SPEED] to faster speed might make the picture darker, so we recommend

recording the picture in well-lit area. If correct exposure cannot be achieved, [

] will flash in

red when the shutter button is pressed halfway.

For details on [REC] mode menu settings, refer to P18.
Audio can be recorded simultaneously with the image. You can record the conversation
during the shooting or the situation as a memo.
Applicable modes:

•

Audio is recorded from the built-in microphone on the camera.

•

Audio recorded with this unit may not playback on other equipment.

For details on [REC] mode menu settings, refer to P18.
Illuminating the subject makes it easier for the camera to focus when recording in low light
conditions that make focusing difficult.
