You can delete the entire burst sequence in Instant Review. To delete individual images, see Deleting images on page 25.
To add audio to images taken with the Burst setting, see Recording audio on page 28.
The Burst setting remains in effect until it is changed again, or until it resets to the default Off setting when you turn off the camera.
Exposure Compensation
You can use Exposure Compensation to override the camera's automatic exposure setting. Exposure Compensation is useful in scenes that contain many light objects (like a white object against a light background) or many dark objects (like a black object against a dark background). Such scenes could turn out gray without the use of Exposure Compensation. For a scene with many light objects, increase the Exposure Compensation to a positive number. For a scene with many dark objects, decrease the Exposure Compensation.
Tip To see the effect varying Exposure Compensation settings might have on a scene, try the Exposure option in Bracketing (see Bracketing under Using the Capture Menu on page 18).
