    IMPORTANT!
    •High Sensitivity is disabled following an automatic flash 
    operation using the “Auto Flash” or “Red Eye” setting, or 
    while the flash setting is “Flash On” or “Soft Flash”.
    •Shooting with High Sensitivity can cause an image to 
    appear somewhat coarser than normal and can cause 
    slight deterioration of image resolution.
    •The desirable level of image brightness may not be 
    possible under very dark conditions.
    •When shooting with slow shutter speeds, use a tripod to 
    protect against the effects of hand movement.
    •The camera sometimes performs an automatic noise 
    reduction operation to reduce digital noise in images 
    recorded under certain lighting conditions. This operation 
    causes the camera to take longer than normal to store the 
    image and be ready for the next shot.Shooting a business card, document, whiteboard, or similarly 
    shaped object from an angle can cause the subject to appear 
    misshaped in the resulting image. The BEST SHOT Business 
    Shot scenes correct the shape of rectangular objects so they 
    appear natural.

    BEST SHOT has two Business Shot scenes from which to 
    choose.
    ■Selecting a Business Shot Scene
    1.In a REC mode, align the mode dial with “ ”, 
    and then press [SET].
    2.Use [S], [T], [W], and [X] to select the 
    “Business cards and documents” or the 
    “White board, etc.” scene and then press 
    [SET].
    Whichever you select will remain in effect until you select a 
    different BEST SHOT scene.
    ■Shooting an Image Using a Business Shot 
    Scene
    1.After selecting either 
    of the BEST SHOT 
    Business Shot scenes, 
    compose the image 
    and press the shutter 
    button to shoot.
    This displays a screen that 
    shows all of the rectangular shapes in the image that qualify 
    as candidates for keystone correction.
    A red boundary will surround the currently selected 
    correction candidate. If there is a black boundary, it means 
    that the black boundary is indicating a second possible 
    candidate. If there is no second candidate (black boundary), 
    jump directly to step 3.
    •If the camera is unable to detect any keystone correction 
    candidate at all, the message “Cannot correct image!” will 
    appear on the monitor screen momentarily and then the 
    camera will save the image as-is (uncorrected). •Business cards and 
    documents•White board, etc.

    2.Use [W] and [X] to select the candidate you 
    want to use for correction.
    3.Use [S] and [T] to select “Correct” and then 
    press [SET].
    This will correct the image and store the resulting 
    (corrected) image.
    •To cancel the correction operation, select “Cancel”.
    IMPORTANT!
    •Make sure the entire object you are trying to shoot (correct) 
    is enclosed within the monitor screen. The camera will not 
    be able to detect the shape of the object correctly unless it 
    is enclosed entirely within the monitor screen.
    •Correction will not be possible if the subject is the same 
    color as its background. Make sure the object is against a 
    background that allows its outline to stand out.
    •Digital zoom is disabled while shooting with a Business 
    Shot scene. However, you can use optical zoom.
    •The maximum Business Shot image size is 2M (1600 × 
    1200 pixels), even if the camera is configured for a larger 
    image size. When the camera is configured to record 
    images smaller than 2M (1600 × 1200 pixels), Business 
    Shot scenes will produce images in accordance with the 
    currently specified image size.

    ■Printing an ID Photo
    Printing an ID photo image will print the same image in various 
    sizes on a single sheet of paper. Then you can cut out the 
    image(s) you want to use.
    IMPORTANT!
    •The ID photo sizes provided here are not exact. Actual 
    sizes may be slightly larger.
    •When printing an ID photo, be sure to print on 4 × 6 size 
    paper. Images may not print at the proper sizes if another 
    size of paper is used.
    •When printing an ID photo, be sure to set up your printer for 
    “borderless print”. For full details, see the user 
    documentation that comes with your printer.With Old Photo, you can record the image of an old, faded 
    photograph and then use the camera’s built-in advanced digital 
    camera technology to restore it.■Before Recording with Old Photo
    •Make sure the entire photograph you are trying to record is 
    enclosed within the monitor screen.
    •Make sure the photograph is against a background that 
    allows its outline to stand out, and that it fills the monitor 
    screen to the maximum extent possible.
    •Make sure that light is not reflecting off the surface of the 
    original photograph when recording it.
    •If the old photograph is portrait orientation, be sure to 
    compose the image with the camera in landscape (horizontal) 
    orientation.

    NOTE•When the camera is at an angle to the photograph you are 
    recording, the shape of the photograph may appear 
    distorted in the recorded image. Auto keystone correction 
    corrects for this distortion, which means that a photograph 
    appears normal even if you record it at an angle.

    •This displays a 
    photograph contour 
    confirmation screen and 
    then saves the original 
    recorded image. An error 
    message will appear (page 280), without displaying the 
    photograph contour confirmation screen, if the camera is 
    unable to find the contour of the photograph.
    2.Use [W] and [X] to select the candidate you 
    want to correct.

    monitor screen
    – When the subject is the same color as the background it 
    is placed upon

    pixels). When the camera is configured to record images 
    smaller than 2M (1600 × 1200 pixels), Old Photo will

    image size.
    •Under certain conditions, restored colors may not produce 
    the desired results.You can create a multi-snapshot image by recording snapshots 
    into the frames that are arranged in a preset pattern. This lets 
    you create album-like arrangements of related images in a 
    single image. BEST SHOT scenes are available with three 
    frames and two frames.
