Semi-transparent

background

• This operation causes a semi-transparent image of

the background to appear on the monitor screen, but

the displayed image is not actually saved in camera

memory.

• The focus, exposure, white balance, zoom, and flash

settings are fixed for this type of image.

You can press [MENU] at this point to clear the semi- transparent background from the monitor screen. Then you can repeat step 3 to record a new background.

5.After composing the final image (using the semi-transparent background as a guide), the person with the camera should press the shutter button to record.

Note that the semi-transparent background image you temporarily record in step 3 is for composition purposes only. The final image contains only what is in front of the camera when the shutter button is pressed in step 5.
