(Hand-held
Twilight)
Notes
• In the [Night View] and [Night Portrait] modes, the shutter speed is slower, so using a tripod is
recommended to prevent the image from blurring.
• In the [Hand-held Twilight] mode, the shutter clicks six times and an image is recorded.
• If you select [Hand-held Twilight] with [RAW] or [RAW & JPEG], the image quality becomes [Fine]
temporarily.
• Reducing blur is less effective even in [Hand-held Twilight] when shooting:
– Subjects with erratic movement
– Subjects are too close to the camera
– Subjects with a repeating pattern such as tiles, and subjects with little contrast such as sky, sandy
beach, or lawn
– Subjects with constant change such as waves or water falls
• In the case of [Hand-held Twilight], block noise may occur when using a light source that flickers, such
as fluorescent lighting.
• The minimum distance that you can come close to a subject does not change even if you select [Macro].
For the minimum in-focus range, refer to the minimum distance of the lens attached to the camera.
Shoots night scenes with less noise and blur
without using a tripod. A burst of shots are
taken, and image processing is applied to
reduce subject blur, camera shake, and noise.
