Using BEST SHOT
. BEST SHOT Precautions
Some BEST SHOT scenes cannot be used while recording a movie.
The following BEST SHOT scenes cannot be used while shooting a snapshot.
Prerecord (Movie), For YouTube
The Voice Recording scene cannot be used while shooting a snapshot or recording
a movie.
Some scenes like Night Scene and Fireworks results in a slow shutter speed
setting. Since a slow shutter speed increases the chance of digital noise in the
image, the camera automatically performs a digital noise reduction process when
either of these scenes is selected. This means that it will take a bit longer for the
image to be saved which is indicated by the back lamp flashing green. Do not
perform any key operation during that time. Also, it is a good idea to use a tripod to
avoid image blur due to camera movement when shooting at slow shutter speeds.
Your camera includes a sample scene that optimizes settings for auction site
images. Depending on your camera model, the sample scene is named either “For
eBay” or “Auction”. Images you record using the auction site sample scene are
stored in a special folder so you can easily find them on your computer (page 139).
Images recorded using the following BEST SHOT scenes are saved as 3M
(2048
x
1536 pixels) size.
Oil Painting, Crayon, Water Color
High Sensitivity
The high sensitivity setting is disabled whenever the camera’s flash fires.
High sensitivity may not produce the desired results in very dark conditions.
When shooting with slow shutter speeds, use a tripod to protect against blurring
due to camera movement.
Under certain lighting conditions, the camera will perform an automatic noise
filtering operation to reduce digital noise in the image. This operation causes the
camera to take longer than normal to save the image and be ready for the next
shot.
BEST SHOT scene images were not shot using this camera.
Images shot using a BEST SHOT scene may not produce the results you expected
due to shooting conditions and other factors.
You can modify the camera settings that are made after you select a BEST SHOT
scene. Note, however, that the BEST SHOT settings revert to their defaults when
you select another BEST SHOT scene or turn off the camera.
