BSS (Best Shot
Selector)
BSS is recommended for shooting under low lighting without the
flash, with the camera zoomed in, or in other situations in which
camera shake is likely to blur pictures. Keep pressing the shutter-
release button all the way, and up to 10 pictures are shot and the
camera automatically selects and saves only the sharpest picture
in the series.
