Night Scene Mode - Olympus C-300 ZOOM Reference Manual

Night scene mode

Setting the mode to NIGHT SCENE allows you to take landscape shots at
night under optimum conditions. In this mode, the shutter speed is not fixed
to 1/30 second even when the flash is activated. Depending upon the subject
or shooting conditions, shutter speed may extend up to 2 seconds. The noise
reduction function activates automatically reducing 'noise' when the shutter
speed is over 1 second. This function reduces electrostatic 'noise' that occurs
with long exposure shots.
