• Press the d button to select Y Hand-held or Z Tripod in Night portrait.
• Y Hand-held (default setting): This enables you to shoot with the minimum of camera
shake and noise even when holding the camera by hand.
- For a scene with a dark background, when the shutter-release button is pressed all the
way, pictures are shot continuously. The camera combines these pictures to save a
single picture.
- When shooting at the telephoto zoom position, the camera may not shoot pictures
continuously even if a scene has a dark background.
- Once the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, hold the camera steady without
moving it until a still picture is displayed. After taking a picture, do not turn the camera
off before the monitor switches to the shooting screen.
- If the subject moves while the camera is shooting continuously, the image may be
distorted, overlapped or blurred.
• Z Tripod: Select this mode when the camera is stabilized, such as with a tripod.
- Vibration reduction is not used even if Vibration reduction in the setup menu (A96)
is set to On.
- Press the shutter-release button all the way to shoot a single picture at a slow shutter
speed.
