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.

•Pressing [MENU] any time after step 4 of the above procedure cancels the first image and returns to step 3.

6.When everything is aligned correctly, record the right side of the image.

• 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 BEST SHOT mode only (page 82).
