75VQT1S48Advanced (Recording pictures)This mode allows you to take beautiful pictures of fireworks exploding in the night sky.∫ Technique for Fireworks modeWe recommend performing the following steps to prefocus on the point the pictures will betaken so that you do not miss taking pictures of the fireworks when they are fired.1 Aim the camera at an object, such as a distant light, that is about the same distancefrom the camera as the point where the fireworks will rise.2 Press the shutter button halfway until the focus indication (P38) lights.3 Press the [AF/MF] to select [MF]. (P62)4 Aim the camera in the direction that the fireworks will be fired and wait.5 Press the shutter button fully to take the picture when the fireworks are fired.• If zoom was used, the focus position will not be correct. Perform steps 2 to 5 again.• We recommend using a tripod.Note• The focus range is 5 m (16.4 feet) to ¶ in AF mode. (We recommend performing steps 1 to 5for prefocus.)• This mode is most effective when the subject is 10 m (32.8 feet) or more away.• The shutter speed becomes the following.– When [OFF] is set on the optical image stabilizer function: Fixed to 2 seconds– When [AUTO], [MODE1] or [MODE2] is set on the optical image stabilizer function: 1/4th of asecond or 2 seconds (The shutter speed becomes 2 seconds only when the camera hasdetermined that there is little jitter such as when using a tripod etc.)– You can change the shutter speed by compensating the exposure.• ISO sensitivity is fixed to [ISO100].This allows you to take even more vivid pictures of the blue colour of the sea, sky etc. Italso prevents under exposure of people under strong sunlight.Note• The initial setting for [AF MODE] is [š].• Do not touch the camera with wet hands.• Sand or seawater will cause the camera to malfunction. Make sure that sand or seawater doesnot get into the lens or the terminals.This allows you to take pictures that show the snow as white as possible at a ski resort ora snow-covered mountain.This mode allows you to take pictures through an airplane window.∫ Technique for Aerial photo mode• We recommend using this technique if it is difficult to focus when taking pictures of clouds etc.Aim the camera at something with high contrast, press the shutter button halfway to fix thefocus and then aim the camera at the subject and press the shutter button fully to take thepicture.4 [FIREWORKS]6 [BEACH]8 [SNOW]7 [AERIAL PHOTO]
