A Best Shot Selector (BSS)

The "best shot selector" is recommended from situ-
ations in which inadvertent camera movement can
result in blurred pictures, or when parts of the
image are prone to under- or overexposure.
At [On] and [Exposure BSS] settings, the flash auto-
matically turns off and focus, exposure, and white balance for all pictures are
determined by the first picture in each series.
