Party mode

This mode allows you to take a picture
according to the atmosphere of the
situation (e.g. a wedding reception, a party
in a dark room, etc.).
Both the people and the background can
be recorded with brightness in real life by
using the flash and slowing down the
shutter speed.

we recommend using a tripod and the

set to Wide (1k) and a distance of about
1.5 m (4.92 feet) from the subject.

Fireworks mode

This mode allows you to take beautiful
pictures of fireworks exploding in the night
sky. The shutter speed or the exposure is
automatically adjusted for taking pictures of
fireworks.
∫ Technique for Fireworks mode
We recommend following the prefocus
procedure below to ensure that you do not
miss the chance to take pictures.
1 Set the focus switch to [MF] (P46)
2 Aim the camera at an object (such as
illumination on a building), which is
roughly the same distance as the point of
fireworks.
3 Press the [FOCUS] button until the focus
indication (P37) lights.
4 Aim the camera at the direction where
the fireworks will be exploding.
5 Press the shutter button fully when
fireworks are exploding.
• When you zoom away from or towards the
subject, repeat steps 2 to 5 since the
focus position becomes misaligned.
• We recommend using a tripod.
