The Shooting Menu
When the “Best Shot Selector” (BSS) is on, the
camera takes pictures as long as the shutter-
release button is held down, to a maximum of
ten. These images are then compared and the
sharpest picture (the picture with highest level
of detail) saved to memory card. BSS is recom-
mended for situations in which inadvertent cam-
era movement can produce blurred pictures, for
example when:
• the camera is zoomed in
• lighting is poor and the fl ash can not be used
Option Description

Notes on BSS
BSS 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.
“ Continuous” and BSS
CONTINUOUS is automatically set to Single when BSS is on. Choosing another option
for CONTINUOUS cancels BSS.
The Self-Timer
BSS will not take effect when the self-timer is on, even if On is selected in the BEST
SHOT SELECTOR menu.
