Vivid shots of fireworks.

Subjects appear larger in [

In [

] and [

S] modes, shots may look grainy because the ISO

speed (

=

80

) is increased to suit the shooting conditions.

Because the camera will shoot continuously in [

] mode, hold it

steady while shooting.

In [

] mode, excessive motion blur or certain shooting conditions

may prevent you from obtaining the desired results.

In [

t] mode, mount the camera on a tripod or take other measures

to keep it still and prevent camera shake. Additionally, you should
set [IS Mode] to [Off] when using a tripod or other means to secure
the camera (

=

).

When you use a tripod for evening scenes, shooting in [

] mode instead of

[

] mode will give better results (

=

).

In [

t] mode, although no frames are displayed when you press the shutter

button halfway, optimal focus is still determined.
