							61Using BEST SHOT
You can use this procedure to shoot a portrait and then print it out in the following 
standard ID photo sizes: 30x24mm, 40x30mm, 45x35mm, 50x40mm, 55x45mm.
1.On the BEST SHOT scene menu, select the “ID Photo” scene.
2.Press the shutter button to shoot a portrait of the person for whom you 
want to create an ID photo.
3.Adjust the position of the face in the image.
4.Press [SET].
This saves the image in memory.
• The resulting image is always saved as a 5M (2560x1920 pixels) size image, 
regardless of the camera’s image size setting.
Printing an ID Photo
The print operation outputs multiple copies of the same image on the same sheet in 
various standard ID photo sizes. Cut out the image(s) you need.
• Actual prints are slightly larger than the standard ID photo sizes to facilitate 
trimming.
• When printing an ID photo, be sure to select “4
x6” as the paper size (page 109).
• When printing an ID photo, be sure to set up your printer for “borderless print”. For 
full details, see the user documentation that comes with your printer.

documents” or “White board, etc.” scene.
2.Press the shutter button to shoot the image.
This image will appear on the monitor screen with a red

4] and [6] to move the 
boundary to the area you want to keystone correct.
• The message “Cannot correct image!” will appear on the monitor screen if 
there are no areas that need to be keystone corrected, and the image will be 
saved to memory as it is.
3.Use [8] and [2] to select “Correct” and then press [SET].
This will correct the image and save the resulting (corrected) image.

							63Using BEST SHOT
NOTE
• When composing an image like the ones shown above, make sure that the entire 
outline of the object you are trying to shoot is enclosed within the monitor screen.
• Make sure the object is against a background that allows its outline to stand out.
• VGA size images are stored as VGA size images. All other size images are stored 
as 2M (1600
x1200 pixels) images.
• Digital zoom is disabled while shooting with the “White board, etc.” and “Business 
cards and documents” scenes. However, you can use optical zoom (page 50).
With this feature, you can shoot your own self-portrait simply by pointing the camera 
at your face.
BEST SHOT has two self-portrait scenes from which to choose.
1.On the BEST SHOT scene menu, select “Self-portrait (1 person)” or 
“Self-portrait (2 people)”.
2.Press the shutter button all the way down, and point 
the camera at yourself.
About three seconds after you press the shutter button, the 
camera will go into Auto Shutter standby and start face 
detection. The camera will go into Auto Shutter standby 
and detect the faces of any people in the image.
When the camera is able to detect the number of required 
individuals, it will release the shutter automatically when it determines there is no 
image blur.
• The camera will emit a shutter sound and the front lamp will flash twice when 
the shutter is released.
• To cancel Auto Shutter standby, press [SET].
Recording a Self-portrait
• Self-portrait (1 person) :  Shoots when the face of at least one person, including 
you, is detected.
• Self-portrait (2 people) :  Shoots when the faces of at least two people, including 
you, are detected.

							64Using BEST SHOT
NOTE
• To shoot with the self-portrait feature in combination with a continuous shutter (CS) 
mode (page 43), turn off the Make-up Mode (page 48). Operation is the same as 
that when a continuous shutter (CS) mode is used in combination with Auto 
Shutter. See page 72 for more information.
IMPORTANT!
• If the camera remains in Auto Shutter standby without releasing the shutter, you 
can record an image by pressing the shutter button all the way down again.
• Shooting with the self-portrait feature may produce a blurred image when shooting 
in areas where lighting is dim, which results in a very slow shutter speed setting.
• The Auto Power Off (page 140) trigger time is fixed at five minutes while the 
camera is in Auto Shutter standby. Sleep (page 139) is disabled while Auto Shutter 
is being used.
Multi-motion Image can be used to isolate a moving subject 
within a series of multiple images and places them against 
a stationary background. Make sure that the camera is not 
moving or shaking when shooting with Multi-motion Image.
1.On the BEST SHOT scene menu, select the 
“Multi-motion Image” scene.
2.Press the shutter button to start shooting.
Continuous Shutter shooting will stop after some time, and the resulting 
composite image will appear on the monitor screen.
• Keep the camera still until all of the continuous shutter images are recorded.
• When using this feature, image size is fixed at 3M (2048
x1536 pixels).

Procedure
[r] (REC) * [SET] * MENU * REC Tab * Continuous AF
When shooting a snapshot while “On” is selected for Continuous AF, Auto Focus is 
performed and focusing is continually updated until you half-press the shutter button.
• Before you half-press the shutter button, the camera focuses at the center of the 
screen. If “Face Detection” is turned on when you half-press the shutter button, 
focusing is performed in the area where a face is detected.
• Shooting with Continuous AF can cause vibration and noise to occur due to lens 
operation. This does not indicate malfunction.
Procedure
[r] (REC) * [SET] * MENU * REC Tab * Anti Shake
You can turn on the camera’s Anti Shake feature to reduce image blur due to subject 
movement or camera movement when shooting a moving subject using telephoto, 
when shooting a fast-moving subject, or when shooting under dim lighting conditions.
Your digital camera is equipped with a CCD shift type camera shake correction 
feature and a high-sensitivity anti image blur feature. These two features work in 
concert to minimize the effects of hand and subject movement.

NOTE
• Only Camera Stabilizer can be used during movie recording.
• ISO sensitivity, aperture, and shutter speed do not appear on the monitor screen 
when you half-press the shutter button while “D Auto” or “S Image AS” is 
selected. These values will appear briefly, however, in the preview image that is 
displayed immediately after you shoot a snapshot.
• The ISO sensitivity setting (page 78) must be “Auto” for “S Image AS” to work.
• Shooting while “D Auto” or “S Image AS” is selected can cause an image to 
appear somewhat coarser than normal and can cause slight deterioration of image 
resolution.
• Anti Shake may not be able to eliminate the effects of camera or subject movement 
when movement is severe.
•“A Camera AS” may not work properly when the camera is mounted on a tripod. 
Either turn off Anti Shake or select “S Image AS”.
