Table of contents Sample photo Menu search search (Hand-held Twilight) Shoots night scenes with less noise and blur without using a tripod. A burst of shots are taken, and image processing is applied to reduce subject blur, camera shake, and noise. Notes • In the [Night View] and [Night Portrait] modes, the shutter speed is slower, so using a tripod is recommended to prevent the image from blurring. • In the [Hand-held Twilight] mode, the shutter clicks six times and an image is recorded. • If you select [Hand-held Twilight] with [RAW] or [RAW & JPEG], the image quality becomes [Fine] temporarily. • Reducing blur is less effective even in [Hand-held Twilight] when shooting: - Subjects with erratic movement - Subjects are too close to the camera - Subjects with a repeating pattern such as tiles, and subjects with little contrast such as sky, sandy beach, or lawn - Subjects with constant change such as waves or water falls • In the case of [Hand-held Twilight], block noise may occur when using a light source that flickers, such as fluorescent lighting. • The shortest focal distance does not change even if you select [Macro].
