Shooting with Priority on Subject Faces (High Speed Best Selection)

With High Speed Best Selection, the camera automatically shoots a series of images, and selects the best one based on facial image blur, and facial expression (whether the subject is smiling or blinking).

1.In the REC mode, press [BS] (BEST SHOT).

2.Select “High Speed Best Selection” and then press [SET].

3.Press the shutter button to shoot.

This will cause the message “Busy... Please wait...” to appear. Do not move the camera while this message is displayed. The recording process takes some time to complete after the message appears.

NOTE

With this BEST SHOT scene, the flash setting automatically becomes ? (Flash Off).

If one or more of the faces are blurred in all of the images that are shot, they will be blurred in the final image as well.

The following conditions may make it impossible for the camera to determine if the subject is blinking or smiling. This may result in a final image in which the subject is blinking or not smiling.

Faces that are partially or completely darkened by shadows, etc.

Hair that is hiding or near the eyes

Eye glasses

Small faces

Faces that are not looking directly at the camera

Shooting a large group of people will cause processing of the image after shooting to take longer.
