    camera takes simultaneous meter readings at nine

    Simply select the sample scene that matches the type of
    image you are trying to record and the camera performs
    troublesome setups automatically for beautiful images
    every time. New BEST SHOT sample scenes include
    setups for backlighting and Anti Shake.Business Shot (page 92)

    when recording the image of a business card, document,
    whiteboard, or similar subjects from an angle.

    Past Movie (movie starts from five seconds before [
    ]
    (MOVIE) was pressed), and a BEST SHOT mode (instant
    camera setup based on BEST SHOT sample scenes).
    Movie button (pages 85, 96)
    Simply press [
    ] (MOVIE) to start recording a movie,
    without any troublesome mode changes. You can even
    press the shutter button during movie recording to record
    a snapshot.
