3.
First, shoot an image that includes the subject
you want to extract.
• Shoot an image in which the subject is as large as
possible. Also, the image should include some
easily identifiable reference point that you can use
for later alignment in step 4, below.
• If you selected “Moving Subject” the camera will
record multiple subject images. Do not move the
camera until shooting is complete.
• Flash is turned off automatically at this time.
4.
Next, compose the image again, this time
without the subject you want to extract. Take
care so the image composition here is as
close as possible to the image composition in
step 3. This second image will let the camera
know what part of the image in step 3 needs to
be cropped.
• A semi-transparent view of the image you shot in
step 3 (which includes the subject) will be visible
on the monitor screen to help you compose the
background image properly.
5.
Press the shutter button to shoot the background only.
The camera compares the images you shot in steps 3 and 5 and extracts the
subject. The extracted subject image will appear on the monitor screen. If you
selected “Moving Subject”, the subject image will be moving on the display.
• You can interrupt an ongoing image extraction process at any time by pressing
[MENU] or [BS].
IMPORTANT!
• When shooting the subject image, shoot against a white wall or some other surface
of a color that is different from that of the subject. The camera will not be able to
crop the subject image properly if it is the same or similar color as the background.
• The camera may not be able to cleanly crop a subject that is not clearly defined on
the monitor screen due to backlighting, shadows, light smear, insufficient lighting,
etc. When shooting the subject, make sure that it is clearly defined and outlined on
the monitor screen.
• The background you shoot in step 5 of the above procedure is not saved. Only the
cropped subject image is saved.
