[SCENE MODE] menu (Refer to P69 for information about how to select the menu.)
This mode allows you to take a picture of a 
nightscape. The landscape can be 
recorded vividly by slowing down the 
shutter speed. Set the focus switch to [AF].
∫ Technique for Night scenery mode
• Since the shutter speed becomes slow 
(max. about 8 sec.), use a tripod. We also 
recommend using the self-timer (P52) for 
taking pictures.
• The focus range is 5 m to 
¶.
• The shutter may be kept closed (max. 
about 8 sec.) after taking a picture 
because of signal conditioning, but it is not 
a malfunction.
• When you take pictures in dark places, 
noise may become visible.
• The flash setting is fixed to Forced OFF 
[
].
• The ISO sensitivity is fixed to [ISO80].
• The settings on the AF assist lamp and 
the continuous AF are disabled.
Select this mode when you want to take 
pictures of baby. Exposure and hue are 
adjusted to achieve a healthy complexion 
on the baby. When the flash is used, the 
light is weaker than usual.
• When playing back pictures, baby’s age 
can be displayed.
• The age can also be printed on each 
picture by using the software [LUMIX 
Simple Viewer] or 
[PHOTOfunSTUDIO-viewer-] in the 
CD-ROM (supplied). (For information 
about printing, refer to the separate 
operating instructions for connecting to a 
PC.)
