NO 53 Using BEST SHOT E BEST SHOT Precautions Some scenes like Night Scene and Fireworks result in a slow shutter speed setting Since a slow shutter speed increases the chance of digital noise in the image the camera automatically performs a digital noise reduction process when either of these scenes is selected This means that it will take a bit longer for the image to be saved which is indicated by the back lamp flashing green Do not perform any key operation during that time Also it is a good idea to use a tripod to avoid image blur due to camera movement when shooting at slow shutter speeds Your camera includes a sample scene that optimizes settings for auction site images Depending on your camera model the sample scene is named either For eBay or Auction Images you record using the auction site sample scene are stored in a special folder so you can easily find them on your computer page 105 When using this feature image size is fixed at 2M 16001200 pixels High Sensitivity The high sensitivity setting is disabled whenever the camera s flash fires High sensitivity may not produce the desired results in very dark conditions When shooting with slow shutter speeds use a tripod to protect against blurring due to camera movement Under certain lighting conditions the camera will perform an automatic noise filtering operation to reduce digital noise in the image This operation causes the
