Recording a Subject onto an Existing Background Image (Pre-shot)

Pre-shot helps you get the background you want, even if you need to ask someone else to record the image for you. Basically, Pre-shot is a two-step process.

1.You compose the background you want and press the shutter button, which causes a semi-transparent image of the background to remain on the monitor screen.

2.Ask someone else to record a shot of you against your original background, telling them to compose the image by using the semi-transparent monitor screen image as a guide.

•The camera stores the image produced by step 2 only.

•Depending on how the image is actually composed in step 2, its background may not be exactly the same as the one you composed in step 1.

Note that Pre-shot is available in the BESTSHOT mode only (page 81).

•Freeze the background on the monitor screen.

•Only the second image is recorded.

•Record the image, using the background on the monitor screen as a guide.
