The way fireworks mode works is it leaves the shutter open a longer time, so you get multiple bursts of fireworks. It's a great mode for doing lightening too. It's a lot of fun to be able to go to the Fourth of July, go to your local theme park and open the shutter, (you need to hold very, very still or use a tripod when doing the fireworks mode) so it leaves the shutter open longer so the fireworks can burn into the imaging chip or into the film.
