							74Using BEST SHOT
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”.

while the message is displayed.
NOTE
• When holding the camera by hand while shooting with these BEST SHOT scenes, 
make sure that the subjects remain as still as possible as the camera shoots the 
series of images.
• Even when holding the camera by hand while shooting with “High Speed Night 
Scene and Portrait”, under certain conditions the camera may shoot only a single 
image instead of a series of images.
• Shooting with this BEST SHOT scene makes the shooting range narrower than 
normal.
• Movement while the camera is mounted on a tripod may cause the camera to 
erroneously judge it is being hand held.
• If surroundings are extremely dark when shooting with “High Speed Night Scene” 
or “High Speed Night Scene and Portrait”, the camera may not be able to shoot at 
proper brightness due to insufficient exposure.
• When shooting with these BEST SHOT scenes, the “ISO Sensitivity” setting is fixed

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 (BEST SHOT).
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 4 will 
be saved automatically as the final image.

• The timing of the image you select here will be the timing of the image 
displayed first in step 4 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 4

• 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.

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.

images will appear on the display as in step 4 of the above procedure.

The High Speed CS capabilities of your EXILIM provide you with a variety of options 
(Child CS, Pet CS, Sports CS) to suit exactly the type of image you are trying to 
record. Images continue to be shot as long as you keep the shutter button depressed, 
with the shooting speed optimized according to the BEST SHOT scene you are using.
Prerecord CS (page 49) pre-records images when you half-press the shutter button. 
Then when you press the shutter button the rest of the way down, the camera stores 
what is currently in the buffer and starts real-time continuous shutter shooting of new 
images. Shooting continues until you release the shutter button or until a total of up to 
30 images (buffer images plus new images) are shot. Some of the 30 images are of 
action that occurred before you full-pressed the shutter button and some are after. 
This helps to ensure you capture exactly the moment you want, even if your timing is 
slightly off.
*You can record up to 30 images (pre-recorded buffer images plus real-time images) for 
each Prerecord CS operation.

continually updated until you full-press the shutter button.
• 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.
• The camera will not emit shutter sounds as it pre-records images.
