Step 1. Creating Dynamic Photo - Extracting 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.
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 background, without the
subject. Do not allow the camera
to move.
The camera will extract the subject automatically.
1.
Turn on the camera and press the [BS] button 
.
2.
Select “Dynamic Photo”.On the BEST SHOT scene menu screen, select“Dynamic Photo”, which is the third scene.
Use [
] and [ 
] to move the red frame 
to 
and then press the [SET] button.3.
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.
• To help ensure good cropping results...
See “Four Tips for Good Subject Cropping”.
• You can select the subject type and configure other settings here by pressing the [SET] button.
See “Specifying the Subject Type and CS Speed” for more information.

First, let’s just have the subject wave or perform some other simple movement as we shoot.

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.
Only one shot (not CS images) of the background is recorded at this time.
As shown in the image to the left, there is no need to
carefully compose the two images when shooting
against a flat wall that has no visible marks at all.
Complete!
The extracted subject image will
appear on the display after shooting
is complete. If you selected “Moving
Subject”, the 20 subject images that
were recorded will scroll on the
screen, creating the illusion of movement.
・ The background-only image you shoot is not saved. Only the 20 cropped subject images are saved.
・ Note that you cannot cancel the image extraction process that starts after you shoot the images. Wait until the process is complete before performing any other camera operation.
