Using BEST SHOT
. BEST SHOT Precautions
• Some scenes like Night Scene and Fireworks result in a slow shutter speed setting.
Since a slow shutter speed increases the chance of digital noise in the image, the
camera automatically performs a digital noise reduction process when either of
these scenes is selected. This means that it will take a bit longer for the image to
be saved which is indicated by the back lamp flashing green. Do not perform any
key operation during that time. Also, it is a good idea to use a tripod to avoid image
blur due to camera movement when shooting at slow shutter speeds.
• Your camera includes a sample scene that optimizes settings for auction site
images. Depending on your camera model, the sample scene is named either “For
eBay” or “Auction”. Images you record using the auction site sample scene are
stored in a special folder so you can easily find them on your computer (page 103).
When using this feature, image size is fixed at 2M (1600
x
1200 pixels).
• High Sensitivity
– The high sensitivity setting is disabled whenever the camera’s flash fires.
– High sensitivity may not produce the desired results in very dark conditions.
– When shooting with slow shutter speeds, use a tripod to protect against blurring
due to camera movement.
– Under certain lighting conditions, the camera will perform an automatic noise
filtering operation to reduce digital noise in the image. This operation causes the
camera to take longer than normal to save the image and be ready for the next
shot.
• BEST SHOT scene images were not shot using this camera.
• Images shot using a BEST SHOT scene may not produce the results you expected
due to shooting conditions and other factors.
• You can modify the camera settings that are made after you select a BEST SHOT
scene. Note, however, that the BEST SHOT settings revert to their defaults when
you select another BEST SHOT scene or turn off the camera.
