Using BEST SHOT

With this feature, you can shoot your own self-portrait simply by pointing the camera
at your face.
BEST SHOT has two self-portrait scenes from which to choose.

1.

Press [BS] and then select “Self-portrait (1 person)” or “Self-portrait (2
people)”.

2.

Press the shutter button all the way down, and point the camera at
yourself.

About three seconds after you press the shutter button, the
camera will go into Auto Shutter standby and start face
detection.
When the camera is able to detect the number of required
individuals, it will release the shutter automatically when it
determines there is no image blur.

• The camera will emit a shutter sound and the front lamp

will flash twice when the shutter is released.

• To cancel Auto Shutter standby, press [SET].

NOTE

• You can shoot with the self-portrait feature in combination with a continuous

shutter (CS) mode (page 37). Operation is the same as that when a continuous
shutter (CS) mode is used in combination with Auto Shutter. See page 30 for more
information.

IMPORTANT!

• If the camera remains in Auto Shutter standby without releasing the shutter, you

can record an image by pressing the shutter button all the way down again.

• Shooting with the self-portrait feature may produce a blurred image when shooting

in areas where lighting is dim, which results in a very slow shutter speed setting.

• The Auto Power Off (page 127) trigger time is fixed at five minutes while the

camera is in Auto Shutter standby. Sleep (page 126) is disabled while Auto Shutter
being used.

Recording a Self-portrait

• Self-portrait (1 person): Shoots when the face of at least one person, including

you, is detected.

• Self-portrait (2 people) : Shoots when the faces of at least two people, including

you, are detected.
