The shutter speed can be automatically
adjusted. However, if you want brighter
pictures, you can manually select a slower
shutter speed. This is especially effective if
you want to take pictures where both the
night landscape and the subject are bright,
using [NIGHT PORTRAIT] in scene mode
(P57).
The slow shutter speed values you can
select are: [1/8–], [1/4– ], [1/2–] and [1–].
∫ Example
• Usually, set to [1/8 –] to take pictures.
(When you select slow shutter speed
values other than [1/8 – ], [ ] appears
on the lower left of the LCD monitor.)
• When you set shutter speed slower on
[SLOW SHUTTER], we recommend using
a tripod because jitters become easier to
occur.
• You cannot set the slow shutter in
[NIGHT SCENERY] and [FIREWORKS] in
scene mode. (P57)
It is possible to further magnify a subject
already magnified 6 times with the optical
zoom 4 more times with the digital zoom,
thereby reaching a maximum of 24 times.
∫ Entering the digital zoom range
When you rotate the zoom lever to the
extreme Tele position, the on-screen zoom
indication may momentarily pause. This is
not a malfunction.
You can enter the digital zoom range by
continuously rotating the zoom lever to Tele
or releasing the zoom lever once and then
rotate it to Tele again.

• When using the digital zoom, the picture
quality becomes deteriorated.
• In the digital zoom range, the stabilizer
function may not be effective.
• We recommend using a tripod.
• The indicated zoom magnification is an
approximation.
• The AF area is displayed with a size wider
than usual and set only to a point on the
center of the screen in the digital zoom
range. (P67)
