Shooting Features
Scene Mode (Shooting Suited to the Shooting Conditions)
• The camera automatically captures moving subjects at regular intervals, compares each
image and composites only their bright areas, and then saves them as one image. Light
trails such as the flow of car lights or motion of stars are captured.
• On the screen displayed when U Multiple exp. Lighten is selected, select
V Nightscape + light trails, W Nightscape + star trails, or S Star trails.
• The screen may turn off during the shooting interval. The power-on lamp flashes while
the screen is off.
• To end shooting before it automatically ends, press the k button.
• When you have obtained the desired trails, end shooting. If you continue shooting, details
in the composited areas may be lost.
• The images automatically saved during shooting and the image composited when
shooting ends are grouped as a sequence, and the image composited when shooting
ends is used as the key picture (A70).
• Vibration reduction is disabled regardless of the Photo VR setting (A168) in the setup
menu.
