A Best Shot Selector (BSS)

The “best shot selector” is recommended from situ- ations in which inadvertent camera movement can result in blurred pictures, or when parts of the image are prone to under- or overexposure. BSS may not produce the desired results if the subject moves or the composition changes while the shut- ter-release button is fully pressed.

Shooting, Playback, and Setup Menus

Camera takes shots while shutter-release button is pressed, to a maximum of ten. These images are then compared and the sharpest picture (picture with highest level of detail) is saved. Flash automatically turns off and focus, expo- sure, and white balance for all pictures are determined by the first picture in each series.

wExposure BSS

Selecting this option displays sub-menu shown at right. Choose from:

• [Highlight BSS]: picture with smallest area of overexposure is selected.

•[Shadow BSS]: picture with smallest area of underexposure is selected.

• [Histogram BSS]: of pictures with least under- and over-exposure, camera chooses picture with overall exposure closest to optimum.

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

At settings other than [Off], the icon for the current setting is displayed in the monitor (c 6).
