Turn Vibration reduction (P.48) off when using a tripod.
I SUNSET
Preserves the deep hues seen in sunsets and sunrises.

realistically.
• The camera focuses at infinity. The focus indicator lights when-
ever the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.

to prevent camera shake.
J DUSK/DAWN
Preserves the colors seen in the weak natural light before sunrise or
after sunset.

Effect 2: The colors of the landscape are captured more realisti-
cally.
• The camera focuses at infinity. The focus indicator lights when-
ever the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
• Noise reduction turns on automatically at slow shutter speeds and it will take longer than
usual to store the picture.
• To prevent blurring, mount the camera on a tripod or rest it on a flat, level surface.
K FIREWORKS SHOW
Slow shutter speeds are used to capture the expanding burst of
light from fireworks.
Effect 1: Continuous, simultaneous fireworks are captured clearly.
Effect 2: Large fireworks that burst slowly are captured along with
their trail.

the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.

light coming from behind.
