NOTE

•The current “Zoom (SR)” (page 55) setting is ignored when shooting with this function.

•With this BEST SHOT scene, the flash setting automatically becomes ? (Flash Off).

•The desired background blur effect may not be attained if the camera or subject moves during shooting.

•Depending on the shooting environment, image composition, and subject, this BEST SHOT scene may not be able to produce the desired result.

•If the camera determines that it is unable to blur the background of an image for some reason, it will display the message “Blur processing failed.”. Note, however, that the image will be saved, even if background blurring is not possible.

Shooting with a Super Wide Angle of View (Wide Shot)

With this feature, a number of images are shot and then combined to produce an image with a super-wide angle of view that exceeds the widest angle of view possible with the lens. Converted to 35 mm equivalents, the focal distances available with this feature enable shooting with approximate angles of view of 15 mm and 19 mm.

25 mm (lens widest angle)

Wide 1 (19mm)

Wide 2 (15mm)

1.In the REC mode, press [BS] (BEST SHOT).

2.Select “Wide Shot” and then press [SET].

3.Press [SET] and then use [8] and [2] to select the width setting, which is the second Control Panel setting from the top.

4.Use [4] and [6] to select the width setting (angle of view) you want and then press [SET].

There are two settings available: “Wide 1 (19mm)” and “Wide 2 (15mm)”. “15 mm” shoots a wider area than “19 mm”.
