If you want to use the extracted sample subjects while a memory card is loaded in the camera, use the “Built-in * Card” copy operation to copy the extracted sample subjects from built-in camera memory to the memory card. • Performing a delete or format operation will not delete the extracted sample subjects in built-in camera memory. • Note that the extracted sample subjects include some subjects that cannot be created using the Dynamic Photo feature of this camera. Using the Dynamic Photo Extracted Sample Subjects 4 Creating a Dynamic Photo Image Step 1: Shoot the subject. Creating a Dynamic Photo Image Step 1: Shoot the subject. Dynamic Photo images are created by extracting the subject out of one image, and inserting it into another image (snapshot or movie). The term “subject” as used here refers to what you extract or crop out of the first image. Perform the following steps to shoot and extract the subject. To extract the subject, you shoot once with the subject against a background. Then you shoot the same background again, this time without the subject. (Shoot twice.) 1 With the subject 2 The same angle against the same The camera will extract background, without the subject.the subject automatically. Do not allow the camera to move. 1. Press [r] (REC) to turn on the camera and then press [SET]. 2. Use [8] and [2] to select the bottom Control Panel option (BS) and then press [SET]. 3. Select “Dynamic Photo”.

First, shoot the subject. Best results can be obtained with the camera secured on a tripod. With the camera pointed at the moving subject, press the shutter button to record. If you selected “Moving Subject”, the camera will record a series of Continuous Shutter (CS) images over a few seconds. First, let’s just have the • To help ensure good cropping results... subject wave or perform some other simple *See “Four Tips for Good Subject Cropping”. movement as we shoot. • You can select the subject type and the “Number of Shots” setting here by pressing the [SET] button. *See “Specifying the Subject Type and CS Speed” *See “Changing the “Number of Shots” Setting” *See “Extracting Text from an Image” for more information. • Flash is turned off (?) automatically when shooting with Dynamic Photo. 5. Next, shoot the same background again, but this time without the subject. After shooting the first image with the subject, have the subject exit the frame. Keep the camera still so you can maintain the same background composition as the first image (with the subject). When everything is ready, press the shutter button. Only one shot (not CS images) of the background is recorded at this time. As shown in the image to the right, there is no need to carefully compose the two images when shooting against a flat wall that has no visible marks at all. Creating a Dynamic Photo Image 6 Complete! Complete! The camera compares the images you shot in steps 4 and 5 and extracts the subject. The extracted subject image will appear on the monitor screen. If you selected “Moving Subject”, the 20 subject images that were recorded will scroll on the screen, creating the illusion of movement. • The background you shoot is not saved. Only the 20 cropped subject images are saved. • You can interrupt an ongoing image extraction process at any time by pressing [ ] (Delete). Step 2: Create the Dynamic Photo image. Use the following procedure to insert the subject you extracted in Step 1 above into a snapshot or movie (new background image) and create the final Dynamic Photo image. 1.Press [p] (PLAY) to enter the PLAY mode and then press [SET]. 2.Use [8] and [2] to select the second PLAY Panel item from the bottom (Dynamic Photo) and then press [SET]. 3. Use [4] and [6] to select the background image you want and then press [SET]. Select the image you want to use as the background.

Use [4] and [6] to select the subject you want to insert and then press [SET]. * Only subjects that can be inserted into other images will appear at this time. 5. If you are inserting a subject into a movie an image will appear on the monitor screen showing the approximate location of the subject in the movie. Use [4] and [6] to shift the location to the position you want. After you are finished, press [SET]. • If you insert a subject into a movie, the resulting movie will be a maximum of 20 seconds long.
