Best Shot Selector - Nikon COOLPIX 5100 Manual

Best Shot Selector

When the "Best Shot Selector" (BSS) is on, the cam-
era takes pictures as long as the shutter-release but-
ton is held down, to a maximum of ten. These images
are then compared and the sharpest picture (the pic-
ture with highest level of detail) saved to the memory
or memory card. BSS is recommended for situations in
which inadvertent camera movement can produce
blurred pictures, for example when:
• the camera is zoomed in
• lighting is poor and the flash can not be used.
Option
off BSS off; camera functions normally.
BSS on. Flash turns off automatically and focus, exposure, and auto
on white balance for all photos are determined by the first picture in each
series.
Notes on BSS
BSS may not produce the desired results with a moving subject or if you change the composition
while the shutter-release button is pressed all the way down.
"Continuous" and BSS
CONTINUOUS is automatically set to Single when BSS is on. Choosing another option for CON-
TINUOUS cancels BSS.
The Self-Timer
BSS will not take effect when the self-timer is on, even if On is selected in the BEST SHOT SELEC-
TOR menu.
BSS
When BSS is on, a BSS icon appears in the monitor.
