The Shooting Menu
Best Shot Selector
BSS
When the "Best Shot Selector" (BSS) is on, the cam-
era takes pictures as long as the shutter-release but-
ton is held down, to a maximum of ten. These images
are then compared and the sharpest picture (the pic-
ture with highest level of detail) saved to the memory
or memory card. BSS is recommended for situations in
which inadvertent camera movement can produce
blurred pictures, for example when:
•the camera is zoomed in
• lighting is poor and the flash can not be used
Notes on BSS
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.
"Continuous" and BSS
CONTINUOUS is automatically set to Single when BSS is on. Choosing another option for CON-
TINUOUS cancels BSS.
The Self-Timer
BSS will not take effect when the self-timer is on, even if On is selected in the BEST SHOT SELEC-
TOR menu.
BSS
When BSS is on, a BSS icon appears in the monitor.
Option Description
Off BSS off; camera functions normally.
On
BSS on. Flash turns off automatically and focus, exposure, and auto
white balance for all photos are determined by the first picture in each
series.
