Using BEST SHOT
With High Speed Best Selection, the camera automatically shoots a series of images,
and selects the best one based on facial image blur, and facial expression (whether
the subject is smiling or blinking).
1. In the REC mode, touch “b” (BEST SHOT).
2. Touch “High Speed Best Selection” scene.
3. Press the shutter button to shoot.
• This will cause the message “Busy... Please wait...” to appear. Do not move
the camera while this message is displayed. The recording process takes
some time to complete after the message appears.
NOTE
• With this BEST SHOT scene, the LED light setting automatically becomes off.
• Shooting with this BEST SHOT scene makes the shooting range narrower than
normal.
• If one or more of the faces are blurred in all of the images that are shot, they will be
blurred in the final image as well.
• The following conditions may make it impossible for the camera to determine if the
subject is blinking or smiling. This may result in a final image in which the subject is
blinking or not smiling.
– Faces that are partially or completely darkened by shadows, etc.
– Hair that is hiding or near the eyes
– Eye glasses
– Small faces
– Faces that are not looking directly at the camera
• Shooting a large group of people will cause processing of the image after shooting
to take longer.
