Tips and Notes About Scene Mode
X Night landscape
• Press the d button to select u Hand-held or w Tripod in Night landscape.
• u Hand-held (default setting):
- Press the shutter-release button all the way to capture a series of images which are
combined into a single image and saved.
- Once the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, hold the camera still until a still
image is displayed. After taking a picture, do not turn the camera off before the screen
switches to the shooting screen.
- The angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) seen in the saved image is
narrower than that seen on the shooting screen.
- Continuous shooting may not be possible in certain shooting conditions.
• w Tripod:
- One image is captured at a slow shutter speed when the shutter-release button is
pressed all the way.
- Vibration reduction is disabled regardless of the Vibration reduction setting
(A162) in the setup menu.
s Night portrait
• Press the d button to select u Hand-held (default setting) or w Tripod in Night
portrait.
• One image is captured at a slow shutter speed. Compared to using w Tripod, when
u Hand-held is selected, the camera sets a slightly faster shutter speed in accordance
with the shooting conditions to prevent camera shake.
• When w Tripod is selected, vibration reduction is disabled regardless of the Vibration
reduction setting (A162) in the setup menu.
• Raise the flash before shooting.
• If human faces are detected when the picture is taken, the camera softens the facial skin
tones using the skin softening function (A43).
