Press the d button to select Y Hand-held or Z Tripod in Night landscape.
Y Hand-held (default setting):

release button all the way to capture one image.
- 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 may be
narrower than that seen on the shooting screen.
- Continuous shooting may not be possible in certain shooting conditions.
Z Tripod:
- One image is captured at a slow shutter speed when the shutter-release button is
pressed all the way.
