Using BEST SHOT
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 sets up for it automatically. This  helps to minimize the chance of ruined 
images due to poor exposure and shutter speed settings.

(BEST SHOT).
This will display a menu of BEST 
SHOT scenes.

due to shooting conditions and other factors.
• You can modify the camera settings that are configured after you select a BEST 
SHOT scene. Note, however, that the BEST SHOT settings revert to their defaults 
when you select another BEST SHOT scene or turn off the camera.

Creating Your Own BEST SHOT Setups 
						

							
68Using BEST SHOT
This function analyzes a burst of consecutive images and then blurs the background 
behind the main subject. This creates an e ffect that really makes the subject stand 
out, just like photographs taken with a single-lens reflex camera.
1.In the REC mode, press [BS] (BEST SHOT).
2.Select “Blurred  Background” and then press [SET].
3.Press the shutter bu tton to shoot.
• Get as close as possible  to the subject. Also, the background should be as far 
away as possible from the subjec t. The required distances depend on the 
zoom factor being used.
• 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
• The current “Zoom (SR)” (page 49) setting is ignored when shooting with this  function.
• With this BEST SHOT scene, the fl ash setting automatically becomes ? (Flash 
Off).
• The desired background blur effect may not be attained if the camera or subject  moves during shooting.
• Depending on the shooting environment, im age composition, and subject, this 
BEST SHOT scene may not be able to produce the desired result.
• If the camera determines that it is unable to blur the background of an image for  some reason, it will display the message  “Blur processing failed.”. Note, however, 
that the image will be saved, even  if background blurring is not possible.
Shooting with a Blurred Background (Blurred Background)
Shot with “Auto”. Shot with “Blurred Background”.
Example : When zoom is set to full wide  (W), the distance between the camera 
and subject should be 30 to 50cm (1.0 to 1.6), while the distance 
between the subject and background s hould be at least 1 meter (3.3). 
						

							69Using BEST SHOT
With this feature, a number of images are shot and then combined to produce an 
image with a super-wide angle of view that exceeds the widest angle of view possible 
with the lens. Converted to 35 mm equivalents, the focal distances available with this 
feature enable shooting with approximate angles of view of 17 mm and 21 mm.
1.In the REC mode, press [BS] (BEST SHOT).
2.Select “Wide Shot” and then press [SET].
3.Press [SET] and then use [8] and [2] to select the width setting, which 
is the fifth Control Panel setting from the top.
4.Use [4] and [6] to select the width setting (angle of view) you want and 
then press [SET].
There are two settings available: “Wide 1 (21 mm)” and “Wide 2 (17 mm)”. 
“17 mm” shoots a wider area than “21 mm”.
5.Hold the camera so it is 
upright, with the shutter 
button and other 
controls at the bottom.
• Do not point the camera 
straight down at the 
ground at this time. If you 
do, the camera’s built-in 
vertical/horizontal position 
sensor will not operate 
properly and may make it 
impossible to start 
shooting.

subject you want in the 
center of the image and 
then half-press the 
shutter button to focus.

on the screen indicates the 
recordable range of the

that appear on the monitor screen.
• Holding the camera firmly with both hands, follow 
the instructions that appear on the monitor screen 
to slowly slide the camera horizontally or vertically 
in an arc centered on your body.
– When sliding the camera horizontally, do not 
allow your body to move left or right. A vertical 
line running through your body should serve as 
the axis.
– When sliding the camera vertically, do not allow your body to move upwards 
or downwards. A horizontal line between your shoulders should serve as the 
axis.
– Take care not to slide the camera diagonally and be sure to maintain a firm 
grip on it.
• The camera will start composing the super-wide image internally when the 
slide cursor reached the other end of the movement range.
• Image composing also will start automatically if you stop moving the camera 
during super-wide shooting. After you stop moving the camera, the message 
“Busy... Please wait...” appears as the camera processes the image. Wait until 
this message disappears before using the camera. Image shooting is disabled 
while the message is displayed.
NOTE

for reference only. Actual angle of view values are not guaranteed.
• Zoom operations are not supported during Wide Shot shooting. The zoom setting 
is fixed at full wide angle.
• This function makes it possible to shoot images with a maximum angle of view of 
17 mm or 21 mm. Note, however, that shooting conditions can result in a smaller 
angle of view.
