7.Use [8] and [2] to select “Number of Shots”, and then press [SET].
8.Use [8] and [2] to select either “1” or “2” and then press [SET].
9.First, shoot an image that includes the subject 
you want to extract.
• Shoot an image in which the subject is as large as 
possible. If you selected “2” for the “Number of Shots” 
setting, the images should include some easily 
identifiable reference point that you can use for later 
alignment in step 10 below.
• If you selected “Moving Subject” the camera will record multiple subject 
images. Do not move the camera until shooting is complete.
• If you selected “1” for the “Number of Shots” setting, this procedure is complete 
with this step. The camera will extract the subject and display it on the monitor 
screen. If you selected “Moving Subject” in step 6, the subject image will be 
moving on the display.
• Even if you select “1” for the “Number of Shots” setting, certain conditions can 
cause the setting to switch automatically to “2”.
• Flash is turned off automatically at this time.
To shoot under 
these conditions:Select 
this 
setting:Notes:
The subject against a 
complex background2You need to shoot twice to extract the 
subject.
The subject against a 
plain (no pattern) 
background1You need to shoot only once to extract the 
subject. If you select this setting, you will 
not need to perform steps 10 and 11 of the 
procedure below.

10.Next, compose the image again, this time without 
the subject you want to extract. Take care so the 
image composition here is as close as possible 
to the image composition in step 9. This second 
image will let the camera know what part of the 
image in step 6 needs to be cropped.
• A semi-transparent view of the image you shot in step 6 (which includes the 
subject) will be visible on the monitor screen to help you compose the 
background image properly.
11.Press the shutter button to shoot the background only.
The camera compares the images you shot in steps 9 and 11 and extracts the 
subject. The extracted subject image will appear on the monitor screen. If you 
selected “Moving Subject”, the subject image will be moving on the display.
• You can interrupt an ongoing subject extraction process (steps 9 through 11) at 
any time by pressing [ ] (Delete).
IMPORTANT!
• When shooting the subject image, shoot against a white wall or some other surface 
of a color that is different from that of the subject. The camera will not be able to 
crop the subject image properly if it is the same or similar color as the background.
• The camera may not be able to cleanly crop a subject that is not clearly defined on 
the monitor screen due to backlighting, shadows, light smear, insufficient lighting, 
etc. When shooting the subject, make sure that it is clearly defined and outlined on 
the monitor screen.
• The background you shoot in step 9 of the above procedure is not saved. Only the 
cropped subject image is saved.
