A Best Shot Selector (BSS)

The "best shot selector" is recommended from situ-
ations in which inadvertent camera movement can
result in blurred pictures, or when parts of the
image are prone to under- or overexposure. BSS
may not produce the desired results if the subject
moves or the composition changes while the shut-
ter-release button is fully pressed.

Camera takes shots while shutter-release button is pressed, to a maximum of
ten. These images are then compared and the sharpest picture (picture with
highest level of detail) is saved. Flash automatically turns off and focus, expo-
sure, and white balance for all pictures are determined by the first picture in
each series.
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
underexposure is selected.
• [Histogram BSS]: of pictures with least under-
and over-exposure, camera chooses picture
with overall exposure closest to optimum.
Camera takes five shots each time shutter-release button is pressed, but only
the picture that best meets the selected criterion is saved. Flash automatically
turns off and focus and white balance for all pictures are determined by first
picture in each series. Recommended for high-contrast subjects, when it is dif-
ficult to set exposure correctly.
At settings other than [Off], the icon for the current setting is displayed in the
monitor (c 6).
