NOTES:

Due to large memory files created when shooting a picture of uncompressed quality in this mode, it is recommended to use a Memory card with the capacity more than 16MB.

If any portion of the subject is white (clothing, for example), that portion of the subject will also be replaced with the background picture.

If the subject is dark, the region that is combined with the background may appear to change when the Shutter button is pressed. However, the actual image that is recorded conforms with the composition settings that were in effect before the Shutter button was pressed.
