Recording a Subject onto an Existing Background Image

F t

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. Higher resolution and higher quality images provide finer detail but cause the images’ file size to be larger. To change image resolution or image quality, perform these steps below:

Step 1: You compose the background you want and press the shutter button, which causes

a semi-transparent image of the background to remain on the monitor screen.

Step 2: Ask someone else to record a shot of you against your original background, telling

him/her to compose the image by using the semi-transparent monitor screen image as a guide. Camera stores the image produced by step 2 only.

Step 3: Depending on how the image is actually composed in step 2, its background may not

be exactly the same as the one you composed in step 1.

reeze the background on

he monitor screen.

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 buttons, and press the SET button. d. Select [Pre-Shot] with the c / d buttons, and press the SET button. e. Press the MENU button to exit from the menu screen.

2. Compose the background you want on the monitor 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 monitor 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 snap your picture, using the semi-transparent background on the monitor screen as a composition guide.

4. After composing the final image (using the semi-transparent background as a guide), the person with camera should press the shutter button to record. Note that the semi-transparent background image you temporarily record in step 2 is for composition purposes only. The final image contains only what is in front of camera when the shutter button is pressed in step 4.

Record the image, using the background on the monitor screen as a guide.

Only the second image is recorded.

Combining Shots of Two People into a Single Image
