  • Page 180: Dynamic Photo! A Totally New Way To Enjoy Digital Photography

    Dynamic Photo! A totally new way to enjoy digital Dynamic Photo makes it easy to crop a moving subject out of a series of images and insert it into other images! A simple operation on the camera extracts a moving subject automatically by cropping up to 20 Continuous Shutter images.

  • Page 181: Using The Dynamic Photo Extracted Sample Subjects

    Using the Dynamic Photo Extracted Sample Subjects Your digital camera comes with a number of extracted sample subjects in its built-in memory. You can use these sample subjects to practice creating Dynamic Photo images by inserting them into your original snapshots.
  • Page 182 After creation of the Dynamic Photo image is complete, the finished image with the inserted moving subject will appear on the monitor screen. After you master the above procedure using extracted sample subjects, you will be ready to create your own extracted subjects and insert them into snapshots for totally original Dynamic Photo images.

  • Page 183: Creating A Dynamic Photo Image

    Creating a Dynamic Photo Image Step 1: Shoot the subject. Dynamic Photo images are created by extracting the subject out of one image, and inserting it into another image. The term “subject” as used here refers to what you extract or crop out of the first image. Perform the following steps to shoot and extract the subject.
  • Page 184 First, shoot the subject. Best results can be obtained with the camera secured on a tripod. With the camera pointed at the moving subject, press the shutter button to record. If you selected “Moving Subject”, the camera will record a series of Continuous Shutter (CS) images over a few seconds.

  • Page 185: Step 2: Create The Dynamic Photo Image

    Complete! The camera compares the images you shot in steps 3 and 4 and extracts the subject. The extracted subject image will appear on the monitor screen. If you selected “Moving Subject”, the 20 subject images that were recorded will scroll on the screen, creating the illusion of movement.
  • Page 186 Use [4] and [6] to select the subject you want to insert and then press [SET]. * Only subjects that can be inserted into other images will appear at this time. Use the zoom controller to adjust the size of the subject and use [8], [2], [4], and [6] to adjust its position.

  • Page 187: Four Tips For Good Subject Cropping

    Four Tips for Good Subject Cropping • When shooting the subject image, shoot against a white wall or some other surface whose color is different from that of the subject. The camera will not be able to crop the subject image properly if its color is the same as or similar to the background color.

  • Page 188: Specifying The Subject Type And Cs Speed

    Move the subject away from the wall to avoid shadows! The camera may mistake shadows on the wall or floor caused by strong sunlight, illumination, or other light sources as part of the subject. Shadows tend to form when the subject is too close to a wall.
