This makes it possible to combine images in ways that create exciting, totally unbelievable scenes. Moving CS Images Extract the subject.
Page 198: Creating A Dynamic Photo Image
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. 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.
Page 199 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.
Page 200: Step 2: Create The Dynamic Photo Image
Step 2: Create the Dynamic Photo image. Use the following procedure to insert the subject you extracted in Step 1 above into a photograph and create the final Dynamic Photo image. Press [p] to enter the PLAY mode. Perform the following operation on the camera [MENU] * PLAY tab * “Dynamic Photo”.
Page 201: Four Tips For Good Subject Cropping
After creation of the Dynamic Photo image is complete, the finished image with the moving subject will appear on the monitor screen. • Inserting a moving subject will resize it to one-fourth the size of the background image you are inserting into.
Page 202 Recommended!! Shooting Technique Look for a flat wall that has no markings. Best cropping results are obtained when the background is a wall that is completely free of visible markings like the one shown above. In this case, it is not necessary to take pains to position the camera correctly when shooting the second (background only) image...
Page 203 Move the subject away from the wall to avoid shadows! The camera may mistake shadows on the wall or floor caused by strong sunlight, illumination, or other light sources as part of the subject. Shadows tend to form when the subject is too close to a wall.
Page 204: Specifying The Subject Type And Cs Speed
Specifying the Subject Type and CS Speed Pressing [SET] during step 1 of “3. First, shoot the subject.” will display a screen for specifying the subject type and CS speed. You can select from among the four subject types listed below.
