9.First, shoot an image that includes the subject you want to extract.

Shoot an image in which the subject is as large as possible. If you selected “2” for the “Number of Shots” setting, the images should include some easily identifiable reference point that you can use for later alignment in step 10 below.

If you selected “Moving Subject” the camera will record multiple subject images. Do not move the camera until shooting is complete.

If you selected “1” for the “Number of Shots” setting, this procedure is complete with this step. The camera will extract the subject and display it on the monitor screen. If you selected “Moving Subject” in step 6, the subject image will be moving on the display.

Even if you select “1” for the “Number of Shots” setting, certain conditions can cause the setting to switch automatically to “2”.

Flash is turned off automatically at this time.

10.Next, compose the image again, this time without the subject you want to extract. Take care so the image composition here is as close as possible to the image composition in step 9. This second image will let the camera know what part of the image in step 6 needs to be cropped.

A semi-transparent view of the image you shot in step 6 (which includes the subject) will be visible on the monitor screen to help you compose the background image properly.

11.Press the shutter button to shoot the background only.

The camera compares the images you shot in steps 9 and 11 and extracts the subject. The extracted subject image will appear on the monitor screen. If you selected “Moving Subject”, the subject image will be moving on the display.

You can interrupt an ongoing subject extraction process (steps 9 through 11) at any time by pressing [] (Delete).
