This mode allows you to take beautiful 
pictures of fireworks exploding in the night 
sky. The shutter speed or the exposure is 
automatically adjusted for taking pictures of 
fireworks.

∫ Technique for Fireworks mode
We recommend following the prefocus 
procedure below to ensure that you do not 
miss the chance to take pictures.
1 Set the focus switch to [MF] (P45).
2 Aim the camera at an object (such as 

illumination on a building), which is 
roughly the same distance as the point of 
fireworks.

3 Press the [FOCUS] button until the focus 

indication (P36) lights.

4 Aim the camera at the direction where 

the fireworks will be exploding.

5 Press the shutter button fully when 

fireworks are exploding.

• When you zoom away from or towards the 

subject, repeat steps 2 to 5 since the 
focus position becomes misaligned.

• We recommend using a tripod.

• The flash setting is fixed to Forced OFF 

[

].

• When the auto focus is activated, the 

available recording range is 5 m to 

¶. (We 

recommend following steps 1 to 5 on the 
previous page to take pictures with 
prefocus.)

• The ISO sensitivity is fixed to [AUTO].
• The settings on the AF assist lamp and 

the continuous AF are disabled.

This mode allows you to take a picture in 
locations such as skiing resorts and 
locations near snowy mountains. The 
exposure and the white balance are 
adjusted to make the white colour of the 
snow stand out.

• The ISO sensitivity is fixed to [AUTO].
