Recording a Subject onto an Existing Background Image
Pre-Shot helps you get the background you want, even if you need to ask someone else
to record the image for you. Basically, Pre-Shot is a two-step process.
1. Slide the mode switch to [ ].
a. Press the MENU button.
b. Select [Function] with the f button.
c. Select [Capture Mode] with the c / d button, and press the SET button.
d. Select [Pre-Shot] with the c / d button, and press the SET button.
e. Press the MENU button to exit from the menu screen.
2. Compose the background you want on the screen, and then press the shutter button
to temporarily record it as a reference image.
This operation causes a semi-transparent image of the background to appear on
the screen, but the displayed image is not actually saved in camera memory.
3. Now you can stand in front of the background and ask someone else to take your picture,
using the semi-transparent background on the screen as a composition guide.
4. After composing the final image (using the semi-transparent background as a
guide), the person with the camera should press the shutter button to record.
Note that the semi-transparent background image temporarily recorded in step 2
is for composition purposes only. The final image contains only what is in front of
the camera when the shutter button is pressed in step 4.
Combining Shots of Two People into a Single Image
This mode lets you record images of two people and combine them into a single image.
This makes it possible for you to include yourself in group images, even when there is
no one else around to record the image for you.
1. Slide the mode switch to [ ].
a. Press the MENU button.
b. Select [Function] with the f button.
c. Select [Capture Mode] with the c / d button, and press the SET button.
d. Select [Coupl.shot] with the c / d button, and press the SET button.
e. Press the MENU button to exit from the menu screen.
2. Align the focus frame on the screen with the subject you want on the left side of the
image.
3. Press the shutter button to record the left side of the image.
4. Next compose the subject you want in the right side of the image, taking care to
align the background with the semi-transparent image of the background of the first
image, which is shown on the screen.
5. When everything is aligned correctly, record the right side of the image.
