NOTE

•The BEST SHOT YouTube scene sets up the camera for recording movies that are optimized for uploading to YouTube. Movies recorded with the YouTube scene are stored in a special folder to make them easy to locate for uploading (page 127).

When the Movie Mode setting (page 64) is “HS” (High-speed Movie) or “STD”, the YouTube scene movie is recorded with the current movie size, recording speed and quality settings. You cannot shoot with the “For YouTube” scene while “HD” is selected as the movie mode or while “1200 fps” is selected for high-speed movie.

.BEST SHOT Precautions

•The following BEST SHOT scene cannot be used while shooting a snapshot: For YouTube.

•To focus before starting to record a movie with the “For YouTube” scene, select “On” for the “Continuous AF” setting on the “REC” tab or use manual focus. After focusing, start recording.

•A slow shutter speed setting is used when the “Night Scene” or “Fireworks” scene is selected. The camera automatically performs a digital noise reduction process at slow shutter speeds. It is a good idea to use a tripod to avoid image blur.

•Your camera includes a sample scene that optimizes settings for auction site images. Depending on your camera model, the sample scene is named either “For eBay” or “Auction”. Images you record using the auction site sample scene are stored in a special folder so you can easily find them on your computer (page 135).

•BEST SHOT scene images were not shot using this camera.

•Images shot using a BEST SHOT scene may not produce the results you expected due to shooting conditions and other factors.

•You can modify the camera settings that are configured after you select a BEST SHOT scene. Note, however, that the BEST SHOT settings revert to their defaults when you select another BEST SHOT scene or turn off the camera.

•The CS dial setting is ignored and the t (Single Shot) setting is used while the “Splashing Water”, “Night Scene”, “Night Scene Portrait”, or “Fireworks” BEST SHOT scene is selected.
