When shooting night scenes, shooting
people at night, shooting landscapes,
shooting portraits, shooting snowy scenes,
or shooting at the shore, use the following
modes to increase the quality of your
images.
When the shutter speed is 1/25 second or
slower, the NR slow shutter function
activates automatically (page 46).
Twilight mode
Allows you to shoot night scenes at far
distance without losing the dark atmosphere
of the surroundings. The shutter speed
becomes slower, so we recommend that you
use a tripod to prevent shaking.
• You cannot shoot in macro mode.
• You cannot use the flash.
Twilight portrait mode
Suitable for shooting portraits in dark
places. Allows you to shoot sharp images of
people in dark places without losing the
dark atmosphere of the surroundings. The
shutter speed becomes slower, so we
recommend that you use a tripod to prevent
shaking.
• The flash strobes regardless of the surrounding
brightness.
Landscape mode
Focuses on a distant subject to shoot
landscapes, etc.
• You cannot shoot in macro mode.
• The flash is set to (Forced flash) or (No
flash).
Portrait mode
Backgrounds blur away, and the subject is
sharpened.
Snow mode
When shooting snowy scenes or other
places where the whole screen appears
white, use this mode to prevent sunken
colors and record clear and sharp images.
• The flash is set to (Forced flash) or (No
flash).
