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.

WMulti-shot 16

Each time the shutter-release button is pressed, camera takes 16 pictures at about 7 frames per second (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” (A 76) for more information.

BNote on BSS

BSS is effective when taking pictures of still subjects. BSS may not produce the desired results if the subject moves or the composition changes while the shutter-release button is held down.

BNote on Multi-shot 16

Smear (A 168) visible in the monitor when shooting with Multi-shot 16 enabled will be recorded with images. Avoiding bright objects such as the sun, reflections of the sun, and electric lights when
