For Best Results

For best results, move the camera in a small circle at a steady speed, keeping the camera horizontal and being careful only to pan in the direction shown by the guides. If the desired results are not achieved, try panning at a different speed.

■iPRO FOCUS

The camera takes up to three shots each time the shutter button is pressed, softening the background to emphasize the main subject. The amount

of softening can be adjusted before shooting by rotating the command dial. Use for portraits or photos of flowers similar to those produced by SLR cameras.

a

Softening can not be applied to background objects that are too close to the main subject. If a message stating that the camera can not create the effect is displayed when the camera focuses, try backing away from your subject and zooming in. The camera may also be unable to soften the background if the subject is moving; if prompted, check the results and try again.
