111USING BEST SHOT 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.
