Shooting with BEST SHOT
With BEST SHOT (page 56), you can select the sample scene that matches the type of movie you are trying to shoot and the camera will change its setup accordingly, for beautiful movies every time. Selecting the BEST SHOT scene named Night Scene, for example, will configure the camera so night scenes appear clearer and brighter.
Minimizing the Effects of Camera Movement during Movie Recording
You can configure the camera to minimize the effects of camera movement during movie recording (page 68). Note, however, that this does not prevent image blur due to subject movement and it makes the field of view narrower.
