Best Shot Selector (BSS) BSS is recommended for situations in which inadvertent camera movement can produce blurred pictures, or when parts of the image are prone to under- or overexposure. It may not produce the desired results if the subject moves or the composition is changed while the shutter-release button is fully pressed. Option Description Off BSS off. Camera takes shots while shutter-release button is pressed, to a maximum of ten. These images are then compared and sharpest picture (picture On with highest level of detail) is saved. Flash turns off automatically and focus, exposure, and white balance for all photos are determined by first picture in each series. Selecting this option displays sub-menu shown at right. Choose from: • Highlight BSS: picture with smallest area of over- exposure is selected. • Shadow BSS: picture with smallest area of un- Exposure BSS • derexposure 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 picture that best meets selected criterion is saved. Flash turns off automatically and focus and white balance for all photos are determined by first picture in each series. Recommended for high-contrast subjects, when it is difficult to set exposure correctly. At settings other than Off, the current BSS setting appears in the display ( 6-7). Sensitivity Sensitivity is a measure of how quickly the camera reacts to light. The higher the sensitivity, the less light needed to make an exposure. Much as film with a high ISO rating tends to produce "grainy" images, high sensitivities may however be associated with "noise"-randomly spaced, brightly colored pixels concentrated in dark parts of the image. Choose from values between ISO 50 and 400 equivalent. Auto is equivalent to ISO 50 under normal conditions; when lighting is poor and the flash is off, the camera compensates by raising Sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 200 equivalent. The current Sensitivity is displayed in the monitor at settings other than Auto ( 6-7). If Auto is selected, an ISO icon will be displayed when sensitivity is raised above ISO 50 equivalent.

sociated with “noise”—randomly spaced, brightly colored pixels concentrated in
dark parts of the image.

the flash is off, the camera compensates by raising Sensitivity to a maximum of ISO
