    							81Using 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, press [BS] (BEST SHOT).
    2.Select “High Speed Best Selection” and then press [SET].
    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 flash setting automatically becomes ? (Flash 
    Off).
    • 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.

    							82Using BEST SHOT
    The High Speed CS capabilities provide you with a variety of BEST SHOT options 
    (Child CS, Pet CS, Sports CS) to suite 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 50) 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.
    1.In the REC mode, press [BS] (BEST SHOT).
    2.Select the BEST SHOT scene you want to use and then press [SET].
    The following are the settings for each BEST SHOT scene.
    *You can change the above settings if you want. See page 50 for details.
    3.Half-press and hold the shutter button to start pre-recording of images.
    A preset number of images are pre-recorded. The pre-recorded images are 
    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.

    4.Press the shutter button the rest of the way down.
    This will save the pre-recorded images and start shooting new images in real-
    time. Images continue to be shot as long as you keep the shutter button 
    depressed.
    5.Shooting will stop when you release the shutter button or after the 
    maximum number of shots is reached.
    NOTE
    • Control panel operations, recording, and precautions are the same as those that 
    apply to the BEST SHOT “High Speed CS” scene (page 50).
    • Prerecord CS (pre-recording of images before the shutter button is full-pressed) is 
    not performed if you full-press the shutter button without half-pressing first. 
    Whenever possible, be sure to half-press the shutter button, compose the image, 
    and then full-press the shutter button. 
    						
    							84Using BEST SHOT
    The High Speed Movie capabilities of the camera provide you with a variety of BEST 
    SHOT options (Child High Speed Movie, Pet High Speed Movie, Sports High Speed 
    Movie) to suite exactly the type of image you are trying to record.
    1.In the REC mode, press [BS] (BEST SHOT).
    2.Select the BEST SHOT scene you want to use and then press [SET].
    3.Record the movie the same way as you would a normal movie (page 
    55).
    Press [0] (Movie) to start and stop recording.
    • During High Speed Movie recording, focus is fixed at the position where it was 
    when recording started. To focus an image, half-press the shutter button for 
    Auto Focus or focus manually before you press [0] (Movie) to start recording.
    NOTE
    • These BEST SHOT scenes always shoot using High Speed Movie. The current 
    “» Quality” setting is ignored.
    • Precautions and the shooting procedure are the same as those for High Speed 
    Movie recording (page 58), except that the following functions are disabled.

    To focus with manual focus
    1.On the monitor screen, compose the image so 
    the subject you want to focus on is within the 
    yellow boundary.
    2.Watching the image on the monitor screen use 
    [4] and [6] to adjust focus.
    • At this time the image that is within the boundary 
    will enlarge and fill the monitor screen, which aids 
    in focusing. If you do not perform any operation for 
    two seconds while the enlarged image is displayed, 
    the screen in step 1 will re-appear.
    NOTE
    • An Auto Macro feature detects how far the subject is from the lens and 
    automatically selects either Macro Focus or Auto Focus accordingly.
    • Use of the flash together with Macro Focus can cause the light of the flash to 
    become blocked, which may result in unwanted lens shadows in your image.
    • In the case of movie recording, Auto Macro operates before you start recording. 
    After recording is started, however, focus is fixed.
    • Whenever you perform an optical zoom operation while shooting with Auto Focus, 
    Macro Focus, or Manual Focus, a value will appear on the monitor screen to tell 
    you the focus range, as shown below. Note that the focus range is displayed 
    including the Auto Macro range only when shooting with Auto Focus.
    Example: oo cm to 9
    *oo is the actual focusing range value.
    • The operations assigned to the [4] and [6] keys with the “L/R Key” setting (page 
    95) are disabled while Manual Focus is selected as the focus mode.
    • Turning on “Face Detection” causes the focus mode to change automatically to Q 
    (Auto Focus). Changing the focus mode setting to anything other than Q (Auto 
    Focus) causes “Face Detection” to turn off automatically.

    Using Focus Lock
    “Focus lock” is a technique you can use when you want to 
    compose an image in which the subject you want to focus 
    on is not within the focus frame in the center of the 
    screen.
    • To use focus lock, select “Í Spot” or “Ë Tracking” 
    for the Auto Focus area (page 92).
    1.Align the monitor screen’s focus frame with 
    the subject you want to focus on and then half-
    press the shutter button.
    2.Keeping the shutter button half-pressed 
    (which maintains the focus setting), move the 
    camera to compose the image.
    • When “Ë Tracking” is selected as the Auto Focus 
    area, the focus frame will move automatically and 
    follow the subject.
    3.When you are ready to shoot the image, press the shutter button the 
    rest of the way down.
    NOTE
    • Focus lock also locks exposure (AE).
