This mode allows you to take beautiful pictures of fireworks exploding in the night sky.
∫ Technique for Fireworks mode

Since the shutter speed becomes slower, we recommend using a tripod.
Note
•
This mode is most effective when the subject is 10 m or more away.
•
The shutter speed becomes the following.
–
Image stabiliser function [OFF]: 2 seconds
–
When [AUTO], [MODE1] or [MODE2] is set on the optical image stabilizer function: 1/4th of a
second or 2 seconds (The shutter speed becomes 2 seconds only when the camera has
determined that there is little jitter such as when using a tripod etc.)
–
You can change the shutter speed by compensating the exposure.
•
The AF area is not displayed.
•
ISO sensitivity is fixed to [ISO100].
This allows you to take even more vivid pictures of the blue colour of the sea, sky etc. It
also prevents under exposure of people under strong sunlight.
