Using BEST SHOT
This function analyzes a burst of consecutive images and then blurs the background
behind the main subject. This creates an effect that really makes the subject stand
out, just like photographs taken with a single-lens reflex camera.
1.
In the REC mode, press [BS] (BEST SHOT).
2.
Select “Blurred Background” and then press [SET].
3.
Press the shutter button to shoot.
• Get as close as possible to the subject. Also, the background should be as far
away as possible from the subject. The required distances depend on the
zoom factor being used.
• This will cause the message “Busy... Please wait...” to appear. Do not move
the camera while this message is displayed. The recording process takes
some time to complete after the message appears.
NOTE
• The current “Zoom (SR)” (page 49) setting is ignored when shooting with this
function.
• With this BEST SHOT scene, the flash setting automatically becomes ? (Flash
Off).
• The desired background blur effect may not be attained if the camera or subject
moves during shooting.
• Depending on the shooting environment, image composition, and subject, this
BEST SHOT scene may not be able to produce the desired result.
• If the camera determines that it is unable to blur the background of an image for
some reason, it will display the message “Blur processing failed.”. Note, however,
that the image will be saved, even if background blurring is not possible.
Shooting with a Blurred Background (Blurred Background)
Shot with “Auto”. Shot with “Blurred Background”.
Example : When zoom is set to full wide (W), the distance between the camera
and subject should be 30 to 50cm (1.0' to 1.6'), while the distance
between the subject and background should be at least 1 meter (3.3').
