DBSS (Best Shot Selector)

The “best shot selector” is recommended when shooting with the flash off or the camera zoomed in, or in other situations in which inadvertent motion can result in blurred pictures. When BSS is on, the camera takes up to ten pictures while the shutter-release button is held down. The sharpest picture in the series is automatically selected and saved.

Each time the shutter-release button is pressed, the camera takes 16 shots at a rate of about 30 fps and arranges them in a single image.

Pictures are recorded at an image mode setting of L(image size: 2560 × 1920 pixels). This setting cannot be changed. Digital zoom is not available.

BNotes on Continuous Shooting

•When Continuous, BSS, or Multi-shot 16 is selected, the flash is disabled. Focus, exposure, and white balance are fixed at the values determined with the first picture in each series.

•The frame rate with continuous shooting may vary depending upon the current image mode setting, the memory card used, or shooting condition.

•There are functions with which this setting cannot be enabled. See “Camera Settings that Cannot Be Applied Simultaneously” (A78) for more information.
