The Shooting Menu
Best Shot Selector (BSS)
The options in the “best-shot selector” (BSS) menu are recommended for situ-
ations in which inadvertent camera movement can produce blurred pictures,
or when parts of the image are prone to under- or over-exposure.
Option Description
Off BSS off.
On
Camera takes shots while shutter-release button
is pressed, to a maximum of ten. These images
are then compared and sharpest picture (pic-
ture with highest level of detail) is saved. Flash
turns off automatically and focus, exposure, and
white balance for all photos are determined by fi rst picture in each se-
ries. Recommended for situations in which inadvertent camera move-
ment 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
May not produce desired results if subject moves or composition is
changed while shutter-release button is fully pressed.
Exposure
BSS
Selecting this option displays sub-menu shown at
right. Choose from:
• Highlight BSS: picture with smallest area of
overexposure is selected.
• Shadow BSS: picture with smallest area of un-
derexposure is selected.
• Histogram BSS: of pictures with least under- and over-exposure,
camera chooses picture with overall exposure closest to optimum.
Camera takes fi ve shots each time shutter-release button is pressed,
but only picture that best meets selected criterion is saved. Flash turns
off automatically and focus and white balance for all photos are deter-
mined by fi rst picture in each series. Recommended for high-contrast
subjects, when it is diffi cult to set exposure correctly.
