Recording a Self-portrait

With this feature, you can shoot your own self-portrait simply by pointing the camera at your face.

BEST SHOT has two self-portrait scenes from which to choose.

•Self-portrait (1 person) : Shoots when the face of at least one person, including you, is detected.

•Self-portrait (2 people) : Shoots when the faces of at least two people, including you, are detected.

1.Press [BS] and then select “Self-portrait (1 person)” or “Self-portrait (2 people)”.

2. Press the shutter button all the way down, and point the camera at yourself.

About three seconds after you press the shutter button, the camera will go into Auto Shutter standby and start face

detection. The camera will go into Auto Shutter standby and detect the faces of any people in the image.

When the camera is able to detect the number of required

individuals, it will release the shutter automatically when it determines there is no image blur.

•The camera will emit a shutter sound and the front lamp will flash twice when the shutter is released.

•To cancel Auto Shutter standby, press [SET].

NOTE

•To shoot with the self-portrait feature in combination with a continuous shutter (CS) mode (page 68), use [4] and [6] to turn on face detection (page 41). Operation is the same as that when a continuous shutter (CS) mode is used in combination with Auto Shutter. See page 73 for more information.
