Using BEST SHOT
NOTE
• The current “Zoom (SR)” (page 61) setting is ignored when shooting with this
function.
• With this BEST SHOT scene, the flash setting automatically becomes ? (Flash
Off).
• The desired background blur effect may not be attained if the camera or subject
moves during shooting.
• Depending on the shooting environment, image composition, and subject, this
BEST SHOT scene may not be able to produce the desired result.
• If the camera determines that it is unable to blur the background of an image for
some reason, it will display the message “Blur processing failed.”. Note, however,
that the image will be saved, even if background blurring is not possible.
With this feature, a number of images are shot and then combined to produce an
image with a super-wide angle of view that exceeds the widest angle of view possible
with the lens. Converted to 35 mm equivalents, the focal distances available with this
feature enable shooting with approximate angles of view of 14 mm and 18 mm.
