BEST SHOT Scene Limitations

•Business cards and documents, White board, etc., Old Photo, Layout, and Auto Framing.

These scenes cannot be used to shoot a movie.

•Short Movie, Past Movie, For YouTube

These scenes cannot be used to shoot a snapshot.

•Voice Recording

These scenes cannot be used to shoot a snapshot or movie.

•Night Scene, Fireworks

These scenes use slow shutter speeds. Since a slow shutter speed increases the chance of digital noise in the image, the camera automatically performs a digital noise reduction process on slow shutter images. Because of this, such images take longer to store after you press the shutter button. Do not perform any key operation while an image is being stored. Also, it is a good idea to use a tripod to avoid image blur due to camera movement when shooting at slow shutter speeds.

IMPORTANT!

•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 254).

•The BEST SHOT “For YouTube” scene sets up the camera for recording movies that are optimized for uploading to YouTube. Movies recorded with the “For YouTube” scene are stored in a special folder to make them easy to locate for uploading (page 254). Note that the image quality of movies recorded with the “For YouTube” scene is always “Normal”. Maximum recording time is 10 minutes.

•BEST SHOT scenes 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 change the camera settings that are made when 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. If you think you will later need to use a particular camera setup you configured, save it as a BEST SHOT user setup (page 108).
