Color Correction
Color Correction lets you correct the color of an old photograph. The corrected image 
is saved as 2M (1600x1200 pixels) size.
1.Perform the above operation.
• An image of the photograph you are restoring will appear on the monitor 
screen with a red boundary around it. If there is a black boundary, it means that 
the camera detected more than one rectangular area in the image. Use [4] 
and [6] to move the boundary and select the area of the photograph.
2.Use [8] and [2] to select “Trim”, and then press [SET].
This will display a selection boundary for trimming the on-screen image.
3.Slide the zoom controller to resize the selection boundary and specify 
the image size you want.
4.Use [8], [2], [4], and [6] to move the selection boundary to it 
encloses the area of the image you want to trim to and then press 
[SET].
NOTE
• If the original image is smaller than 2M size, the new (corrected) version will be the 
same size as the original.
• The original snapshot is retained in memory and not deleted.
• If you do not want a border around the resulting image, select an area that is 
smaller than the original image.
• When you display a color corrected image on the camera’s monitor screen, the 
date and time indicates when the image was originally recorded, not when the 
image was color corrected.

4.Press [SET], use [8] and [2] to select “Number of Shots”, and then 
press [SET].
5.Use [8] and [2] to select either “1” or “2” and then press [SET].
6.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 7 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 3, 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 option:
2The subject against a 
complex backgroundYou need to shoot twice to extract the subject.
1The subject against a plain 
(no pattern) backgroundYou need to shoot only once to extract the subject. 
If you select this option, you will not need to 
perform steps 7 and 8 of the procedure below.

7.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 6. This second 
image will let the camera know what part of the 
image in step 3 needs to be cropped.
• A semi-transparent view of the image you shot in step 
3 (which includes the subject) will be visible on the monitor screen to help you 
compose the background image properly.
8.Press the shutter button to shoot the background only.
The camera compares the images you shot in steps 6 and 8 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 6 through 8) at 
any time by pressing [MENU] or [BS].
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 5 of the above procedure is not saved. Only the 
cropped subject image is saved.

Use the following procedure to insert a subject into a new background image. A 
Dynamic Photo with a moving subject is saved as a 2M (1600x1200 pixels) or 
smaller size image. A Dynamic Photo with a still subject is saved as a 6M 
(2816
x2112 pixels) or smaller size image.
Procedure
[p] (PLAY) * [MENU] * PLAY Tab * Dynamic Photo
1.Use [4] and [6] to select the background image you want and then 
press [SET].
• Only an image that satisfies the following conditions can be used as a 
background image.
– An image recorded with this camera or an image transferred to this camera’s 
memory using Photo Transport (page 126)
– An image with an aspect ratio of 4:3
2.Use [4] and [6] to select the subject image you want to insert and then

[2], [4], and [6] to adjust its position.
4.When everything is the way you want, press [SET].
This inserts the subject into the background image and creates a Dynamic Photo.
• If the original still image into which a moving subject is inserted is smaller than 
2M size, the Dynamic Photo will be the same size as the original.

size, the Dynamic Photo will be the same size as the original.
