Best Shot Selector (BSS)
The options in the “best-shot selector” (BSS)
menu are recommended for situations 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 (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.

shown at right. Choose from:
• Highlight BSS: picture with smallest
area of overexposure is selected.
• Shadow BSS: picture with smallest area
of underexposure is selected.
• Histogram BSS: of pictures with least
under- and over-exposure, camera
chooses picture with overall exposure closest to optimum.

These images are then compared and picture that best meets select-
ed criterion saved to memory card. Flash turns off automatically and
focus and auto white balance for all photos are determined by the
fi rst picture in each series. Recommended for subjects containing
areas of high contrast, when it is diffi cult to set exposure correctly.
