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 cropped subject image will appear on the display after shooting is complete.
If you selected "Moving Subject", the cropped subject image will be moving on the
display.
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-only image you shoot in step 5 of the above procedure is not
saved. Only the cropped subject image is saved.
