The Best Shot Selector (BSS) mode was first introduced on the Coolpix 950. It uses
"fuzzy logic" to determine the best picture from a series of pictures taken in sequence. It
can be used when you're shooting macro or using a slow shutter speed to automatically
pick the best picture in terms of focus and sharpness.
