Getting Sharper Photos: The Best Shot Selector Menu
The “best-shot selector” (BSS) option is recom-
mended for situations in which inadvertent cam-
era movement can produce blurred photographs,
for example when:
• the camera is zoomed in
• you are using macro close-up to take photo-
graphs at ranges of less than 50 cm (1´8˝ )
• the flash can not be used although lighting is
poor (for example, the subject is outside the
range of the flash or you want to capture natu-
ral lighting under low-light conditions)
The BSS function may not produce the desired results with a moving subject
or if you change the composition while the shutter-release button is pressed
all the way down.
The best-shot selector menu contains the following options:
On
Camera takes photos as long as the shutter-release
button is held down, to a maximum of ten. These
images are then compared and the sharpest photo
(the image with the highest level of detail) saved to
the memory card. The flash is turned off, and fo-
cus, exposure, and white balance are determined
by the first photograph in the series.
