Picture Quality for Long Exposures

At longer shutter speeds the camera will automatically take a

second exposure with the shutter closed in order to measure

and reduce the noise (grainy look) in the image. In these cases,

the exposure will seem to take twice as long as expected. For

example, in a 1-second exposure, the Image Display will stay

dark for 2 seconds until the noise reduction frame is exposed.

This means that at longer shutter speeds, you may not be able

to take quite as many shots back-to-back.

Sunset

The focus starts at infinity and the flash is set to

Flash

Off

. This mode improves the saturation of sunset

colors and retains the warmth of the scene with a bias

towards the orange colors of the sunset.

Aperture

Priority

Av

This mode lets you select the F-number (aperture)
setting in

Live View

using the

buttons, while the

camera selects the best shutter speed. This allows you

to control the depth of field (for example to blur the

background). Use the

Aperture Priority

mode when

you want specific control over the aperture.

Panorama

This mode allows you to shoot a series of overlapping

frames for stitching into one panoramic image using

the included computer software. Use

Panorama

mode

for landscapes, such as mountain ranges, or group

pictures where you need to capture a wide shot that

one image cannot capture. Flash is set to

Flash Off

in

this mode. (See

Using Panorama Mode

on page 48).

You can view the entire panoramic image in the

Playback

Menu

(see

Preview Panorama

on page 84).
