Best Shot Selector (BSS) BSS

The options in the “best-shot selector” (BSS) menu are recommended for situ- ations in which inadvertent camera movement can produce blurred pictures, or when parts of the image are prone to under- or over-exposure.

Option		Description
Off	BSS off.
	Camera takes shots while shutter-release button
	is pressed, to a maximum of ten. These images
	are then compared and sharpest picture (pic-
	ture with highest level of detail) is saved. Flash
	turns off automatically and focus, exposure, and
On	white balance for all photos are determined by first picture in each se-
	ries. Recommended for situations in which inadvertent camera move-
	ment can produce blurred pictures, for example when:
	• the camera is zoomed in	• macro close-up is in effect
	• lighting is poor and the flash can not be used
	May not produce desired results if subject moves or composition is
	changed while shutter-release button is fully pressed.

	Camera takes five shots each time shutter-release button is pressed,
	but only picture that best meets selected criterion is saved. Flash turns
	off automatically and focus and white balance for all photos are deter-
	mined by first picture in each series. Recommended for high-contrast
	subjects, when it is difficult to set exposure correctly.
