Notes

- When you shoot images using (Night Portrait), (Night Scene) or (Fireworks) mode, the shutter speed is slower and the images tend to blur. To prevent blurring, the use of a tripod is recommended.

- Some Scene Selection modes are available also in movie mode, but the selectable modes are limited. [Details]
