    you cannot change the speed (fps) setting while the camera is pre-recording to 
    the buffer in step 1 of the above procedure. You can change the speed (fps) 
    setting after you press [0] (Movie) to start real-time recording.
    NOTE
    • While the camera is set up for shooting with Prerecord Movie, pressing the shutter 
    button will not shoot a snapshot unless movie recording is in progress. With high-

    Using BEST SHOT
    BEST SHOT provides you with a collection of sample “scenes” that show a variety of 
    different types of shooting conditions. When you need to change the setup of the 
    camera, simply find the scene that matches  what you are trying to achieve, and the 
    camera sets up for it automatically. This  helps to minimize the chance of ruined 
    images due to poor exposure and shutter speed settings.

    SHOT scenes.

    • The scene menu has multiple 
    pages. Use [8] and [2] to scroll 
    between menu pages.

    .BEST SHOT Precautions
    • Sample images shown on BEST SHOT scene screens were not shot with this 
    camera. There are provided to illustrate the effects and merits of each scene.
    • Images shot using a BEST SHOT scene may not produce the results you expected 
    due to shooting conditions and other factors.
    • You can modify the camera settings that are configured after you select a BEST 
    SHOT scene. Note, however, that the BEST SHOT settings revert to their defaults 
    when you select another BEST SHOT scene or turn off the camera.
    • Snapshot shooting is disabled while the following BEST SHOT scenes are being 
    used.
    Prerecord (Movie), For YouTube, BEST SHOT movie scenes

    68Using BEST SHOT
    This function analyzes a burst of consecutive images and then blurs the background 
    behind the main subject. This creates an e ffect that really makes the subject stand 
    out, just like photographs taken with a single-lens reflex camera.
    1.In the REC mode, press [BS] (BEST SHOT).
    2.Select “Blurred  Background” and then press [SET].
    3.Press the shutter bu tton to shoot.
    • Get as close as possible  to the subject. Also, the background should be as far 
    away as possible from the subjec t. The required distances depend on the 
    zoom factor being used.
    • 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
    • The current “Zoom (SR)” (page 49) setting is ignored when shooting with this  function.
    • With this BEST SHOT scene, the fl ash setting automatically becomes ? (Flash 
    Off).
    • The desired background blur effect may not be attained if the camera or subject  moves during shooting.
    • Depending on the shooting environment, im age composition, and subject, this 
    BEST SHOT scene may not be able to produce the desired result.
    • If the camera determines that it is unable to blur the background of an image for  some reason, it will display the message  “Blur processing failed.”. Note, however, 
    that the image will be saved, even  if background blurring is not possible.
    Shooting with a Blurred Background (Blurred Background)
    Shot with “Auto”. Shot with “Blurred Background”.
    Example : When zoom is set to full wide  (W), the distance between the camera 
    and subject should be 30 to 50cm (1.0 to 1.6), while the distance 
    between the subject and background s hould be at least 1 meter (3.3). 
    						
    							69Using BEST SHOT
    With this feature, a number of images are shot and then combined to produce an 
    image with a super-wide angle of view that exceeds the widest angle of view possible 
    with the lens. Converted to 35 mm equivalents, the focal distances available with this 
    feature enable shooting with approximate angles of view of 17 mm and 21 mm.
    1.In the REC mode, press [BS] (BEST SHOT).
    2.Select “Wide Shot” and then press [SET].
    3.Press [SET] and then use [8] and [2] to select the width setting, which 
    is the fifth Control Panel setting from the top.
    4.Use [4] and [6] to select the width setting (angle of view) you want and 
    then press [SET].
    There are two settings available: “Wide 1 (21 mm)” and “Wide 2 (17 mm)”. 
    “17 mm” shoots a wider area than “21 mm”.
    5.Hold the camera so it is 
    upright, with the shutter 
    button and other 
    controls at the bottom.
    • Do not point the camera 
    straight down at the 
    ground at this time. If you 
    do, the camera’s built-in 
    vertical/horizontal position 
    sensor will not operate 
    properly and may make it 
    impossible to start 
    shooting.

    6.Point the camera at the 
    subject you want in the 
    center of the image and 
    then half-press the 
    shutter button to focus.
    • The outer blue boundary 
    on the screen indicates the 
    recordable range of the 
    image.
    7.Press the shutter button the rest of the way 
    down and slowly move the camera in 
    accordance with the instructions and arrow 
    that appear on the monitor screen.
    • Holding the camera firmly with both hands, follow 
    the instructions that appear on the monitor screen 
    to slowly slide the camera horizontally or vertically 
    in an arc centered on your body.
    – When sliding the camera horizontally, do not 
    allow your body to move left or right. A vertical 
    line running through your body should serve as 
    the axis.
    – When sliding the camera vertically, do not allow your body to move upwards 
    or downwards. A horizontal line between your shoulders should serve as the 
    axis.
    – Take care not to slide the camera diagonally and be sure to maintain a firm 
    grip on it.
    • The camera will start composing the super-wide image internally when the 
    slide cursor reached the other end of the movement range.
    • Image composing also will start automatically if you stop moving the camera 
    during super-wide shooting. After you stop moving the camera, the message 
    “Busy... Please wait...” appears as the camera processes the image. Wait until 
    this message disappears before using the camera. Image shooting is disabled 
    while the message is displayed.
    NOTE
    • The “17 mm” and “21 mm” angle of view values are approximate and are provided 
    for reference only. Actual angle of view values are not guaranteed.
    • Zoom operations are not supported during Wide Shot shooting. The zoom setting 
    is fixed at full wide angle.
    • This function makes it possible to shoot images with a maximum angle of view of 
    17 mm or 21 mm. Note, however, that shooting conditions can result in a smaller 
    angle of view.
