Taking Photographs-Advanced Photography Getting Sharper Photos: The Best Shot Selector Menu The "best-shot selector" (BSS) option is recommended for situations in which inadvertent camera movement can produce blurred photographs, for example when: • the camera is zoomed in • you are using macro close-up to take photo- graphs at ranges of less than 50 cm (1´8˝ ) • the flash can not be used although lighting is poor (for example, the subject is outside the range of the flash or you want to capture natural lighting under low-light conditions) The BSS function 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. The best-shot selector menu contains the following options: Option Off On Description BSS off; camera functions normally. Camera takes photos as long as the shutter-release button is held down, to a maximum of ten. These images are then compared and the sharpest photo (the image with the highest level of detail) saved to the memory card. The flash is turned off, and focus, exposure, and white balance are determined by the first photograph in the series. 112
