Shooting under Low Light
(Low Light)
Still Images Movies
● Shoot with minimal camera and subject
shake even in low-light conditions.
Shooting Fireworks (Fireworks)
Still Images Movies
● Vivid shots of fireworks.
● Subjects appear larger in [ ] mode compared to other modes.
● In [ ] mode, shots may look grainy because the ISO speed
(= 72) 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 [ ] 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 (= 83).
● When you use a tripod for evening scenes, shooting in [ ]
mode instead of [ ] mode will give better results (= 32).
● In [ ] mode, resolution is [ ] (2592 x 1944 pixel) and it cannot
be changed.
● In [ ] mode, although no frames are displayed when you press
the shutter button halfway, optimal focus is still determined.

camera very still (as with a tripod).

consecutive shots, reducing camera
shake and image noise.
