ROther Shooting Modes

In addition to the modes described above, the camera offers u(best moment capture) mode to help with hard-to-time shots and a z (Motion Snapshot) mode that combines photographs with brief movie vignettes (0 74).

uChoosing the Moment (Best Moment Capture)

Choose a shot from 20 frames recorded to temporary storage shortly before or after the shutter is released (Active Selection), choose the moment to release the shutter as the scene plays back in slow motion (slow view), or let the camera choose the best shot based on composition and movement (Smart Photo R Selector).

Choosing a Shot Manually (Active Selection)

Choose up to 20 shots from 20 frames recorded shortly before or after the shutter-release button is pressed all the way down.
