OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

1.Enter the REC Mode, and select “ BESTSHOT” as the recording mode (page 53).

2.Use [] and [] to select “Pre-shot”, and then press [SET].

3.Compose the background you want on the monitor screen, and then press the shutter button to temporarily record it as a reference image.

•This operation causes a semi-transparent image of the background to appear on the monitor screen, but the displayed image is not actually saved in camera memory.

•The focus, exposure, white balance, zoom, and flash settings are fixed for this type of image.

•You can press [MENU] at this point to clear the semi- transparent background from the monitor screen. Then you can repeat step 3 to record a new background.

5.After composing the final image (using the semi-transparent background as a guide), the person with the camera should press the shutter button to record.

•Note that the semi-transparent background image you temporarily record in step 3 is for composition purposes only. The final image contains only what is in front of the camera when the shutter button is pressed in step 5.

4.Now you can stand in front of the background and ask someone else to snap your picture, using the semi-transparent background on the monitor screen as a composition guide.
