‘i MACRO’
According to the following conditions, different scene types may be determined for the same subject.
Face contrast, conditions of subject (size, distance, colouring, movement), zoom ratio, sunset,
sunrise, low brightness, jitter
If desired scene type is not selected,
we recommend manually selecting the
appropriate recording mode.
(scene mode: P.44)
We recommend using a tripod and the self-
timer with ‘i NIGHT SCENERY’ and ‘i NIGHT
PORTRAIT’.
When jitter is small (e.g. using tripod) with ‘i
NIGHT SCENERY’, shutter speed can reach
a maximum of 8 seconds. Do not move the camera.
