Using BEST SHOT

BEST SHOT provides you with a collection of sample “scenes” that show a variety of

different types of shooting conditions. When you need to change the setup of the

camera, simply find the scene that matches what you are trying to achieve, and the

camera sets up for it automatically. This helps to minimize the chance of ruined

images due to poor exposure and shutter speed settings.

. To shoot an image with BEST SHOT

1. In the REC mode, touch “ ” (Show Icons).

2. Touch the recording mode icon.

3. Touch “ ” (BEST SHOT).

This will display a menu of BEST SHOT scenes.

4. Touch the scene you want to select.

5. Press the shutter button (if you are shooting a

snapshot) or touch “ ” (Movie Start) (if you are

shooting a movie).

• With some BEST SHOT scenes, the message “Busy... Please wait...” will

appear on the monitor screen after you press the shutter button. The camera is

in the process of recording an image until the message appears. Keep the

camera still. The image processing operation takes some time to complete

after the message appears. You will not be able to record another image while

the message is displayed.
