Hints and Notes About the Scene Mode
X Night landscape
• Press the d button to select u Hand-held or w Tripod in Night
landscape.
• u Hand-held (default setting):
- Press the shutter-release button all the way to capture a series of images which
are combined into a single image and saved.
- Once the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, hold the camera still
until a still image is displayed. After taking a picture, do not turn the camera off
before the monitor switches to the shooting screen.
- The angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) seen in the saved image is
narrower than that seen in the monitor at the time of shooting.
• w Tripod:
- One image is captured at a slow shutter speed when the shutter-release
button is pressed all the way.
- Vibration reduction is disabled regardless of the Vibration reduction setting
in the setup menu (A57).
s Night portrait
• Press the d button to select u Hand-held or w Tripod in Night portrait.
• One image is captured at a slow shutter speed. Compared to using w
Tripod, when u Hand-held is selected, the camera sets a slightly faster
shutter speed in accordance with the shooting conditions to prevent
camera shake.
• When w Tripod is selected, vibration reduction is disabled regardless of
the Vibration reduction setting in the setup menu (A57).
• The flash always fires. Raise the flash before shooting.
