Technique for Fireworks Mode
• Since the shutter speed becomes slower, we recommend using a tripod.
 Note
• 
The flash setting is fixed to [o].
• This mode is most effective when the subject is 10 m (32.8 feet) or more away.
• The shutter speed becomes the following.
 
– When [OFF] is set on the Optical Image Stabilizer function: Fixed to 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 [ISO80].
