B Note on BSS
BSS
is best suited to shooting subjects that are not moving. When shooting moving subjects or when
the composition of the picture changes while shooting, the desired results may not be achieved.
B Note on Multi-shot 16
Smear (A 121) visible in the monitor when shooting with Multi-shot 16 will be visible in the saved
image data. To reduce smear effects, avoid bright objects such as the sun, reflections of the sun, and
electric lights when shooting.
