Using BEST SHOT
NOTE
• When composing an image like the ones shown above, make sure that the entire
outline of the object you are trying to shoot is enclosed within the monitor screen.
• Make sure the object is against a background that allows its outline to stand out.
• VGA size images are stored as VGA size images. All other size images are stored
as 2M (1600
x
1200 pixels) images.
• Digital zoom is disabled while shooting with the “White board, etc.” and “Business
cards and documents” scenes. However, you can use optical zoom (page 47).
With this feature, you can shoot your own self-portrait simply by pointing the camera
at your face.
BEST SHOT has two self-portrait scenes from which to choose.
1.
On the BEST SHOT scene menu, select “Self-portrait (1 person)” or
“Self-portrait (2 people)”.
2.
Press the shutter button all the way down, and point
the camera at yourself.
About three seconds after you press the shutter button, the
camera will go into Auto Shutter standby and start face
detection. The camera will go into Auto Shutter standby
and detect the faces of any people in the image.
When the camera is able to detect the number of required
individuals, it will release the shutter automatically when it determines there is no
image blur.
• The camera will emit a shutter sound and the front lamp will flash twice when
the shutter is released.
• To cancel Auto Shutter standby, press [SET].
Recording a Self-portrait
• Self-portrait (1 person): Shoots when the face of at least one person, including
you, is detected.
• Self-portrait (2 people) : Shoots when the faces of at least two people, including
you, are detected.
