When the special "hand held night shot assist" is used the camera takes several shots in a burst and somehow arrives at one decent photo - so you can do a longer exposure without a tripod!
Can you spot the areas I have zoomed into below from the pictures above?
It also has a photo burst mode which allows it to shoot like a machine gun -- the idea being that if the figure is in motion you will get good shots of the action. I wish I had this camera at the hockey game last week - I kept missing the players as they had zoomed right out of sight by the time I pushed the camera trigger.
Bella wasn't moving when I took the photos below but I put together a collage of the resulting pictures so you can see the effect.
There is also an indoor low light assist mode which should help my next set of pictures from Hugh's Room be of much superior quality than the last ones. With all these camera features and full HD movie capture features as well, this is a real treat for me!
It is going to take time to learn all the new features, but since my last camera was a Canon it should not be too difficult as the controls are very similar.

Here I am spending my money on frivolous things while you are spending your money on practical items. Oh, well.
ReplyDeleteI would say, have fun with your new camera, Peggy, but it appears you are well on the way to doing just that without any outside encouragement.
Congratulations on the purchase of your new camera!
