Using the Situation-specific CS Scenes

The High Speed CS capabilities provide you with a variety of BEST SHOT options to suite exactly the type of image you are trying to record. Images continue to be shot as long as you keep the shutter button depressed, with the shooting speed optimized according to the BEST SHOT scene you are using.

Prerecord CS (page 51) pre-records images when you half-press the shutter button. Then when you press the shutter button the rest of the way down, the camera stores what is currently in the buffer and starts real-time continuous shutter shooting of new images. Shooting continues until you release the shutter button or until a total of up to 30 images (buffer images plus new images) are shot. Some of the 30 images are of action that occurred before you full-pressed the shutter button and some are after.

This helps to ensure you capture exactly the moment you want, even if your timing is slightly off.
