[Fireworks]; [Beach]; [Snow] - Panasonic DMCFH3 - DIGITAL STILL CAMERA Operating Instructions Manual

This mode allows you to take beautiful pictures of fireworks exploding in the night sky.
∫ Technique for Fireworks Mode
• Since the shutter speed becomes slower, we recommend using a tripod.
Note
• The flash setting is fixed to [Œ].
• This mode is most effective when the subject is 10 m (32.8 feet) or more away.
• The shutter speed changes accordingly:
– When [OFF] is set on the Optical Image Stabilizer function: Fixed to 2 seconds
– When [AUTO], [MODE1] or [MODE2] is set on the Optical Image Stabilizer function: 1/4th of a
second or 2 seconds (The shutter speed becomes 2 seconds only when the camera has
determined that there is little jitter such as when using a tripod etc.)
– You can change the shutter speed by compensating the exposure.
• The AF area is not displayed.
• ISO sensitivity is fixed to [ISO80].
This allows you to take even more vivid pictures of the blue color of the sea, sky etc. It also
prevents underexposure of people under strong sunlight.
Note
• The initial setting for [AF MODE] is [š].
• Do not touch the camera with wet hands.
• Sand or seawater will cause the camera to malfunction. Make sure that sand or seawater does
not get onto the lens or in the terminals.
• Problems caused by sand, seawater and fresh water are not covered by the product warranty.
This allows you to take pictures that show the snow as white as possible at a ski resort or
a snow-covered mountain.
