With High Speed Night Scene and High Speed Night Scene and Portrait, the camera 
detects automatically whether it is being hand-held or on a tripod. If the camera 
detects it is being hand-held, pressing the shutter button 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 flash is always disabled while “High Speed 
Night Scene” is selected. If the night scene image you are shooting includes people, 
use the “High Speed Night Scene and Portrait” BEST SHOT scene. The flash mode 
setting becomes > (Auto Flash) when shooting with “High Speed Night Scene and 
Portrait”.
1.In the REC mode, set the mode dial to b.
2.Press [SET].
3.Select “High Speed Night Scene” or “High Speed Night Scene and 
Portrait” and then press [SET].
4.When you are ready to shoot, press the shutter button.
• After you press the shutter button, the message “Busy... Please wait...” will 
appear on the monitor screen to indicate that recording is in progress. Keep the 
camera still while this message is displayed. The recording process takes 
some time to complete after the message appears.

There always is some unavoidable time lag between the point you press the shutter 
button and the point that the image is actually recorded. The “Lag Correction” feature 
lets you configure the camera to lessen or even eliminate this lag to help you better 
time your shots and get exactly the moment you want. With “Lag Correction”, you 
half-press the shutter button and compose the image you want to shoot. Then when 
you full-press the shutter button, the camera pre-records a total of 5 images, including 
four images of action that happened before you fully pressed the shutter button. After 
that, you can view the images on the monitor screen and select the one you want to 
keep.
1.In the REC mode, set the mode dial to b.
2.Press [SET].
3.Select “Lag Correction” and then press [SET].
4.With the camera pointed at the subject, half-press and hold the shutter 
button.
The camera will start pre-recording images at this time.
• If you release the half-pressed shutter button before pressing it the rest of the 
way down, all of the pre-recorded images currently in the buffer will be deleted.
5.When you are ready to shoot, press the shutter button all the way 
down.
After pre-recording is complete, one of the five images will appear on the monitor 
screen for about three seconds.
6.If you want to view all five of the pre-recorded images, press [SET] 
within about three seconds after a recorded image appears on the 
monitor screen.
• If you do not press [SET] within three seconds, the image displayed in step 5 
will be saved automatically as the final image.

monitor screen.
Use [4] and [6] to scroll through the pre-recorded images. Each image appears, 
along with an indication of the timing when it was pre-recorded.
*Seconds prior to full-press of shutter button.
• The timing of the image you select here will be the timing of the image 
displayed first in step 5 the next time you perform the above procedure. If you 
select the image that was pre-recorded 0.3 seconds prior to full-press of the 
shutter button, for example, the –0.3-second image will be displayed in step 5 
the next time you perform the above procedure.
8.To save the currently displayed image as the final images, press [SET].
NOTE
• With this BEST SHOT scene, the flash setting automatically becomes ?

• Shooting with this BEST SHOT scene makes the shooting range narrower than 
normal.
• The Self-timer cannot be used with this BEST SHOT scene.
• With this BEST SHOT scene, half-pressing the shutter button fixes focus and 
exposure at their current levels.
• With this BEST SHOT scene, image recording will not be successful if you full-
press the shutter button without allowing enough time (at least 0.4 seconds) after 
half-pressing it.
• Pay close attention to the subject when shooting. Failure to do so can cause 
considerable lag from the instant you want to shoot until you actually full-press the 
shutter button. This can cause image recording to be too late, even if you use this 
function.
• The current “Review” setting (page 103) is ignored when shooting with this 
function. Immediately after you full-press the shutter button, one of the five pre-
recorded images will appear on the display as in step 5 of the above procedure.

Multi-motion image can be used to isolate a moving subject 
within a series of multiple images and place them against a 
stationary background. Use a tripod or some other means 
to make sure that the camera is not moving or shaking 
when shooting with Multi-motion image.
1.In the REC mode, set the mode dial to b.
2.Press [SET].
3.Select “Multi-motion Image” and then press [SET].
4.Hold down the shutter button to record.
5.Release the shutter button.
Continuous Shutter shooting will stop and the resulting composite image will 
appear on the monitor screen.
• The above procedure shoots multiple images and combines them 
automatically into a final image. 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.

NOTE
• With this BEST SHOT scene, the flash setting automatically becomes ? (Flash 
Off).
• Shooting with this BEST SHOT scene makes the shooting range narrower than 
normal.
• The Self-timer cannot be used with this BEST SHOT scene.
• 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).

2.Press [SET].
3.Select “High Speed Best Selection” and then press [SET].

some time to complete after the message appears.
NOTE
• With this BEST SHOT scene, the flash setting automatically becomes ? (Flash 
Off).
• Shooting with this BEST SHOT scene makes the shooting range narrower than 
normal.
• 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.
