Recording Images of Business Cards and
Documents (Business Shot)
Recording a business card, document, whiteboard, or
similarly shaped object from an angle can cause the
subject to appear misshaped in the resulting image.
Business Shot automatically corrects the shape of
rectangular objects to make them appear like the camera
was positioned directly in front of them.

To use Business Shot
1.In the REC mode, press [BS] (BEST SHOT).
2.Use [
], [], [] and [] to select the
Business Shot image you want, and then
press [SET].
3.Press the shutter
button to record the
image.
• This displays a screen
that shows all of the
objects in the image that
qualify as candidates for
keystone correction. An
error message will
appear (page 232) if the
camera is unable to find
any suitable keystone
correction candidate in
the image. After a short
while, the original image
will be stored in memory,
as-is.
Before recording with Business Shot
• Before recording, compose the image so outline of the
item you want to record fits entirely within the monitor
screen.
• Make sure the object is against a background that allows
its outline to stand out, and that it fills the monitor screen
to the maximum extent possible.
 NOTE 
• When the camera is at an angle to a business card
or document it is recording, the shape of the
business card or document may appear distorted in
the image. Auto keystone correction corrects for this
distortion, which means that subjects appear normal
even if you record at an angle.

 IMPORTANT! 
• Digital zoom is disabled while recording with
Business Shot. However, you can use optical zoom.
• The camera will not be able to recognize the subject
in the following cases.
— When part of the subject extends outside of the
monitor screen
— When the subject is the same color as the
background it is placed upon
• The maximum Business Shot image size is 2M (1600
×
 1200 pixels), even if the camera is configured for a
larger image size. An image size setting smaller than
2M (1600 ×
 1200 pixels) records images at the
specified size.
Restoring an Old Photograph
You can use the procedure in this section to restore an old,
faded photograph with the color provided by modern digital
camera technology.
Before trying to restore an old
photograph
• Make sure the entire photograph you are trying to restore
is enclosed within the monitor screen.
• Make sure the object is against a background that allows
its outline to stand out, and that it fills the monitor screen
to the maximum extent possible.
• Make sure that light is not reflecting off the surface of the
original photograph.
• If the old photograph is portrait orientation, be sure to
compose the image with the camera in landscape
(horizontal) orientation.

 NOTE 
• When the camera is at an angle to the old
photograph, one side of the recorded image may
appear longer than the side opposite from it. This is
called “keystoning,” which is caused by the
difference in distance from the camera lens to each
side of the photograph. The side of the photograph
that is closer to the camera looks longer and the side
further from the camera looks shorter. Auto keystone
correction corrects for this distortion, which means
that a photograph appears normal even if you record
it at an angle.To restore an old photograph
1.In the REC mode, press [BS] (BEST SHOT).
2.Use [
], [], [], and [] to select “Old
Photo”, and then press [SET].
3.Press the shutter
button to record the
image.
• This displays a
photograph contour
confirmation screen,
and then saves the
original recorded image.
An error message will
appear (page 232),
without displaying the
photograph contour
confirmation screen, if
the camera is unable to
find the contour of the
photograph.
