Still Images

Vivid shots of fireworks.

Subjects appear larger in [ ] mode compared to other modes.

In [ ] mode, 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 [ ] 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 (= 56).

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

]

mode instead of [ ] mode will give better results (= 35).

In [ ] mode, although no frames are displayed when you press
the shutter button halfway, optimal focus is still determined.

You can also choose the shooting mode by accessing MENU
(= 31) ► [

1] tab ► [Rec. Mode].
