blurred pictures, or when parts of the image are
prone to under- or over-exposure.
Option Description

On Camera takes shots while shutter-release button is pressed, to a
maximum of ten. These images are then compared and sharpest
picture (picture with highest level of detail) saved to memory card.
Flash turns off automatically and focus, exposure, and auto white
balance for all photos are determined by the fi rst picture in each
series. Recommended for situations in which inadvertent camera
movement can produce blurred pictures, for example when:
• the camera is zoomed in
• macro close-up is in effect
• lighting is poor and the fl ash can not be used
This setting may not produce desired results with moving subjects or
if composition is changed during shooting.
