Night scene mode
Setting the mode to NIGHT SCENE allows you to take landscape shots at
night under optimum conditions. In this mode, the shutter speed is not fixed
to 1/30 second even when the flash is activated. Depending upon the subject
or shooting conditions, shutter speed may extend up to 2 seconds. The noise
reduction function activates automatically reducing ‘noise’ when the shutter
speed is over 1 second. This function reduces electrostatic ‘noise’ that occurs
with long exposure shots.
The pictures above illustrate the difference between the two modes and do
not represent actual shots.
