If the camera runs out of battery power, shooting stops and a
composite image created from the images up to that point is saved.

Optical zoom is set to maximum wide angle and cannot be adjusted.

There will be a delay before you can shoot again, as the camera processes
and combines the images.

Set [Night Display] to [On] (

=

92

) in this mode.

Switch to manual focus mode (

=

80

) to more accurately specify the focal

position before shooting.

This mode can correct white balance and match the effect of using a
commercially available color-compensating filter (

).

Movies

Shooting Movies of Star Movement
(Star Time-Lapse Movie)

Still images are captured continuously over a specified duration and
combined to create a movie. The camera shoots once each minute, and no
sound is recorded.

Stars move quickly during playback, so you can view their movement
in a short time. Each shooting session lasts up to about two hours, and
many shots are taken. Check the battery level and memory card space in
advance.
