Vivid shots of fireworks.
Subjects appear larger in [
] mode compared to other modes.
In [
] and [
S
] modes, shots may look grainy because the ISO
speed (
=
85
) is increased to suit the shooting conditions.
Because the camera will shoot continuously in [
] mode, hold it
steady while shooting.
In [
] mode, excessive camera shake or certain shooting
conditions may prevent you from obtaining the desired results.
In [
t
] 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 hold the
camera still (
=

When you use a tripod for evening scenes, shooting in [
] mode instead
of [
] mode will give better results (
