Isolating Moving Subjects (Multi-motion image)

Multi-motion image can be used to isolate a moving subject within a series of multiple images and place them against a stationary background. Use a tripod or some other means to make sure that the camera is not moving or shaking when shooting with Multi-motion image.

Basic Multi-motion image Procedure

1.In the REC mode, press [BS].

2.Select “Multi-motion Image” and then press [SET].

3.Hold down the shutter button to record.

4.Release the shutter button.

Continuous Shutter shooting will stop and the resulting composite image will appear on the monitor screen.

•The above procedure shoots multiple images and combines them automatically into a final image. Do not move the camera until shooting is complete.

•You can configure the maximum number of CS shots, the CS fps, and Prerecord CS shots settings the same way as you configure the High Speed CS setting (page 58). Note, however, that the maximum number of CS shots for “Multi-motion Image” is 28 instead of 30.

NOTE

•The current mode dial setting is ignored when recording with this BEST SHOT scene.

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

•Shooting with this BEST SHOT scene makes the shooting range narrower than normal.

•The Self-timer cannot be used with this BEST SHOT scene.

•Shooting with “Multi-motion Image” assumes that the subject is moving and changing positions. Trying to use it to shoot a subject that is moving while maintaining the same location (such as a golf swing, a baseball swing, etc.) will cause an error message to appear on the monitor screen and failure of image recording, or will produce an image in which the shots of the subject are arranged incorrectly.
