Using BEST SHOT
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.
Press [BS] and then 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].
NOTE
• To shoot with the self-portrait feature in combination with a continuous shutter (CS)
mode (page 68), use [
4
] and [
6
] to turn on face detection (page 41). Operation is
the same as that when a continuous shutter (CS) mode is used in combination with
Auto Shutter. See page 73 for more information.

• Self-portrait (1 person) : Shoots when the face of at least one person, including
