[SCENE MODE] menu (Refer to P69 for information about how to select the menu.)
This mode allows you to take a picture of a
nightscape. The landscape can be
recorded vividly by slowing down the
shutter speed. Set the focus switch to [AF].
∫ Technique for Night scenery mode
• Since the shutter speed becomes slow
(max. about 8 sec.), use a tripod. We also
recommend using the self-timer (P52) for
taking pictures.
• The focus range is 5 m to ¶.
• The shutter may be kept closed (max.
about 8 sec.) after taking a picture
because of signal conditioning, but it is not
a malfunction.
• When you take pictures in dark places,
noise may become visible.
• The flash setting is fixed to Forced OFF
[ ].
• The ISO sensitivity is fixed to [ISO80].
• The settings on the AF assist lamp and
the continuous AF are disabled.
Select this mode when you want to take
pictures of baby. Exposure and hue are
adjusted to achieve a healthy complexion
on the baby. When the flash is used, the
light is weaker than usual.
• When playing back pictures, baby’s age
can be displayed.
• The age can also be printed on each
picture by using the software [LUMIX
Simple Viewer] or
[PHOTOfunSTUDIO-viewer-] in the
CD-ROM (supplied). (For information
about printing, refer to the separate
operating instructions for connecting to a
PC.)
Age display setting

in advance, select [WITH AGE] and press
1.
• If you do not want to display the age,
select [WITHOUT AGE] and press 1.
