BEST SHOT provides you with a collection of sample “scenes” that show a variety of
different types of shooting conditions. When you need to change the setup of the
camera, simply find the scene that matches what you are trying to achieve, and the
camera sets up for it automatically. This helps to minimize the chance of ruined
images due to poor exposure and shutter speed settings.

With High Speed Night Scene, the camera detects automatically whether it is being
hand-held or on a tripod. When you press the shutter button, the camera will record a
series of images and combine them in a way that minimizes image blur due to low
light conditions. If the camera detects it is on a tripod, it will shoot a single image
using a longer exposure time (instead of shooting and combining multiple images),
which results in an even clearer image.

The recording process takes some time to complete after the message appears. NOTE • This BEST SHOT scene saves only a single final image. • To cancel this BEST SHOT scene and enter the Continuous Shutter mode, press Ç (Continuous Shutter). • Shooting with this BEST SHOT scene makes the shooting range narrower than normal. • High Speed Anti Shake will not operate correctly while the camera is mounted on a tripod. • High Speed Anti Shake may not operate properly resulting in blurred images if the camera is moved more than the allowable range or if the subject moves during shooting.

Do not move the camera until shooting is complete. • You can configure the maximum number of CS shots, the CS fps, and Prerecord CS shots settings the same way as you configure the High Speed CS setting (page 51). Note, however, that the maximum number of CS shots for “Multi-motion Image” is 28 instead of 30. Isolating Moving Subjects (Multi-motion image) Basic Multi-motion image Procedure
73Using BEST SHOT NOTE • This BEST SHOT scene saves only a single final image. • To cancel this BEST SHOT scene and enter the Continuous Shutter mode, press Ç (Continuous Shutter). • Shooting with this BEST SHOT scene makes the shooting range narrower than normal. • Shooting with “Multi-motion Image” assumes that the subject is moving and changing positions. Trying to use it to shoot a subject that is moving while maintaining the same location (such as a golf swing, a baseball swing, etc.) will cause an error message to appear on the monitor screen and failure of image recording, or will produce an image in which the shots of the subject are arranged incorrectly. • Multi-motion will not operate correctly if you shake or move the camera along with the movement of the subject. • If an error message appears on the monitor screen, either secure the camera so it does not move or shoot against a different type of background. • If not enough CS images are recorded, an error will be displayed before the camera starts to place the isolated subject onto the stationary background. This can be caused if you release the shutter button too soon when recording the moving subject. Keep the shutter button fully depressed long enough to allow recording of more images. • Choose a shooting angle so the colors, shapes, and patterns of the moving subject and the background are as different as possible. • Avoid a shooting angle where the background is monotone or mono-pattern (such as a clear blue sky). • The camera may not be able to compose the final image if the intervals between movements are so narrow the subject shots overlap. If this happens, increase the interval by using the control panel to select a slower “High-speed CS fps” setting (page 51).
74Using BEST SHOT With High Speed Best Selection, the camera automatically shoots a series of images, and selects the best one based on facial image blur, and facial expression (whether the subject is smiling or blinking). 1.Press [BS] and then select the “High Speed Best Selection” scene. 2.Press the shutter button to shoot. • This will cause the message “Busy... Please wait...” to appear. Do not move the camera while this message is displayed. The recording process takes some time to complete after the message appears. NOTE • This BEST SHOT scene saves only a single final image. • To cancel this BEST SHOT scene and enter the Continuous Shutter mode, press Ç (Continuous Shutter). • If one or more of the faces are blurred in all of the images that are shot, they will be blurred in the final image as well. • The following conditions may make it impossible for the camera to determine if the subject is blinking or smiling. This may result in a final image in which the subject is blinking or not smiling. – Faces that are partially or completely darkened by shadows, etc. – Hair that is hiding or near the eyes – Eye glasses – Small faces – Faces that are not looking directly at the camera • Shooting a large group of people will cause processing of the image after shooting to take longer. Shooting with Priority on Subject Faces (High Speed Best Selection)
75Using BEST SHOT You can use these features to shoot an image automatically whenever the subject moves into or moves out of a frame on the monitor screen. You also can configure the camera to record images of what happened immediately before and after the subject moves. .To setup the camera 1.Press [BS] and then select “Move Out CS” or “Move In CS”. 2.Press [SET]. 3.Configure the boundary location and size settings. 4.Press [SET]. • If you want to reconfigure the settings, start again from step 2. 5.Press [2]. 6.Use [8] and [2] to select the fifth control panel option from the top (High-speed CS fps).

Also, Move Out CS may not record correctly if the subject is not in the center of the boundary. • Move In CS and Move Out CS do not operate correctly if you press the shutter button all the way down. Be sure to half-press the shutter button. After images are pre-recorded, press the shutter button the rest of the way down. • After pressing the shutter button all the way to put the camera into record standby, keep the camera still.
