j Night landscape

This enables you to shoot night landscapes with the minimum of
camera shake and noise. When the j icon at the top left of the
screen glows green and the shutter-release button is pressed
fully, pictures are shot continuously at high speed. The camera
combines the shot pictures to save a single picture.
• Camera focuses at infinity. When the shutter-release button is
pressed halfway, the focus area or focus indicator ( A8) always
lights green. However, because the camera focuses at infinity, it
may not be able to focus on nearby objects.
• After pressing the shutter-release button fully, hold the camera steadily until the still picture is
displayed. Do not turn off the camera until the monitor display reverts to the shooting display.
• The angle of view (recorded range) of the stored picture is smaller than the visible range in
the monitor during shooting.
• Digital zoom is not available.
• AF-assist illuminator (
A163) does not light.

• The focus mode (
A38) setting will be changed to D (macro
close-up) and the camera automatically zooms to the position at
the closest distance at which the camera can focus.
• The closest shooting distance will vary according to the magnification of the zoom. In the
zoom position where the F icon and zoom indicator on the monitor glow green (wide-
angle side from the K icon), the camera can focus on subjects as close as about 10 cm (4 in.)
from the lens. In the center zoom position between the maximum wide-angle side and the
K icon, the camera can focus on subjects as close as about 1 cm (0.4 in.) from the lens.
• AF area mode will be changed to Manual to enable the focus area to be chosen ( A90).
Press the
k button and H, I, J or K on the multi selector to move the focus area. When
the focus area position is set by pressing the k button, the flash mode, self-timer or
exposure compensation settings can be adjusted.
• The camera focuses continuously until focus is locked by pressing the shutter-release
button halfway.
• As pictures are easily affected by camera shake, be sure that Vibration reduction
( A160) is enabled and hold the camera steadily.
