locations such as skiing resorts and
locations near snowy mountains. The
exposure and the white balance are
adjusted to make the white colour of the
snow stand out.
• The ISO sensitivity is automatically
adjusted to the optimal value.
Choose this setting to take clear pictures of
the night sky. The slow shutter speed
makes the stars sparkle. You can choose a
shutter speed of 15, 30, or 60 seconds.
n Technique for Starry sky mode
• Due to the slow shutter speed, use a
tripod and the self-timer (P43) for best
