Using BEST SHOT
NOTE
• When shooting with this function, the “ISO” (page 53) becomes “Auto” (fixed).
• If camera movement occurs when shooting with this function, the anti-shake
process will result in an image range that is narrower than normal.
• When shooting with this function, the “RAW+JPEG”, 3:2, and 16:9 image size
settings cannot be selected. If one of these sizes is selected in another mode, the
image size will change to 12M when this function is selected.
With HS 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 BEST SHOT Mode, select “HS Best Selection” (page 93).
2. Press the shutter button to shoot.
NOTE
• Shooting with this function causes the flash setting to change automatically to
?
(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.
