shake even in low-light conditions.

against snowy backgrounds.
Shooting Fireworks (Fireworks)
Still Images Movies
● Vivid shots of fireworks.
● Subjects appear larger in [ ] mode compared to other modes.
● In [ ] mode, shots may look grainy because the ISO speed
(= 73) is increased to suit the shooting conditions.
● Because the camera will shoot continuously in [ ] mode, hold it
steady while shooting.
● In [ ] mode, excessive motion blur or certain shooting conditions
may prevent you from obtaining the desired results.
● In [ ] mode, mount the camera on a tripod or take other
measures to keep it still and prevent camera shake. Additionally,
you should set [IS Mode] to [Off] when using a tripod or other
means to secure the camera (= 90).
