Canon A50 manual Rapid Shot Function

•If the LCD panel is turned off and the Review function is set to On, a preview of the photographic subject will briefly appear in the LCD panel while the shutter button is fully depressed.

•In low light conditions, the shaking hands icon () may display in the middle of the LCD panel as you take a shot. Be particularly careful while this icon shows not to move the camera.

•You can conduct a shooting test even if a CF card is not installed by turning on the LCD panel with the LCD/VIDEO button. The image cannot, however, be recorded.

•If the CF card is missing or full, you won’t be able to shoot and the beep will sound continuously while the shutter button is pressed halfway.

Rapid Shot Function

When a picture is taken, the data is temporarily stored in the camera’s on-board memory until it can be written to the CF card. As long as there is adequate free capacity in the on-board memory, a second shot can be taken immediately after the first. When the on-board memory is fills up, the camera will beep and temporarily cease activating the shutter. Meanwhile, the data in the memory will be written to the CF card. As soon as space for one image is free, you can take the next picture.

•If you wish to take many pictures at short intervals, use the Continuous mode. (p. 49)

•The rapid shot function is not available in CCD RAW mode. (p. 71)

•The indicators will flash green while image data is being written to the CF card. Never open the CF card slot cover
