in this manual.
• After you press the Start button, the composite image is displayed as a new tab above the display screen.
When you press Stop and select this tab, the final version of the composite image is displayed.

You can choose which sharpening filter you wish to use from the most to the least sharp, or none. You can
change the filter setting while the camera is taking pictures. See "Kernel Filter," page 21, for
more information.
