Getting Sharper Pictures: BSS (Best-Shot Selector)
The “Best Shot Selector” (BSS) is recommended
for situations in which inadvertent camera
movement can produce blurred pictures, for
example when:
• the camera is zoomed in or a teleconverter is
used for telephoto photography
• you are taking close-up shots at short range
• the flash can not be used although lighting is poor
BSS may not produce the desired results with a moving subject or if
you change the composition while the shutter release button is pressed
all the way down.

Option Description
Off BSS off; camera functions normally.
Camera takes photos as long as the shutter release button is held
down, to a maximum of ten. These images are then compared and
the sharpest photo (the photo with the highest level of detail) saved to
the memory card. The flash is turned off, and focus, exposure, and
white balance are determined by the first picture in the series.
Restrictions on BSS
BSS can not be used in combination with bracketing, noise reduction, or
CONTINUOUS settings other than Single. The flash can not be used when BSS
is in effect.
When BSS is on, a BSS icon appears in the monitor.
