Recording a Subject onto an Existing Background Image (Pre-shot)

Pre-shot helps you get the background you want, even if you need to ask someone else to record the image for you. Basically, Pre-shot is a two-step process.

1.You compose the background you want and press the shutter release button, which causes a semi-transparent image of the background to remain on the monitor screen.

2.Ask someone else to record a shot of you against your original background, telling them to compose the image by using the semi-transparent monitor screen image as a guide.

•The camera stores the image produced by step 2 only.

•Depending on how the image is actually composed in step 2, its background may not be exactly the same as the one you composed in step 1.

Note that Pre-shot is available in the BESTSHOT mode only (page 65).

•Freeze the background on the monitor screen.

• This records the image.

•Record the image, using the background on the monitor screen as a guide.
