Smart Photo Selector

Choose Smart Photo Selector mode to let the camera help you take photos that capture a fleeting expression on the face of a portrait subject or other hard-to-time shots such as group pho- tos in party scenes. Each time the shutter is released, the camera automatically selects the best shot and a number of best shot candidates based on composition and motion. To use the Smart Photo Selector, select Smart Photo Selector from the 1 (&) button menu in best moment capture mode.

1 Select u mode.

Press the G button to display the menus and select u (best moment capture) for Shooting mode (0 8). If Slow view is selected, choose Smart Photo Selector.
