Shooting Mode
Choose for blurring the background of a subject such as a portrait or a flower to make it impressive. When the shutter button is pressed, the camera automatically takes up to 3 pictures and merges the pictures together to create a clear focused subject with a blurred background. The camera can allow you to get a blurry effect as a single lens reflex camera does.
Press the selector left or right to select SOFTNESS in 3 steps before shooting.
ANotes
•When a subject is too close to the background, the camera may not create effect to a picture. When the message 5 CANNOT CREATE EFFECT appears during focus lock, take a little distance from your subject and use the zoom control to adjust.
•When shooting a moving subject, the function may not work.
•When the camera fails to create effect, the message 5 PLAYBACK TO CHECK IMAGE appears. Take a picture again.
CCaution
Hold the camera firmly while you shoot.
Choose for shooting a subject under low light or a still subject by using the telephoto zoom. When the shutter button is pressed, the camera automatically takes up to 4 pictures and merges the pictures together. Blurring caused by camera shake can be reduced and pictures with low noise can be taken even with high sensitivity.
ANotes
•When shooting a moving subject, the function may not work.
•Pictures may be saved without merged, depending on the shooting condition, or when moving the camera a lot during shooting.
