Selecting a Recording Mode

Your camera has a variety of different recording modes. Before shooting, use the mode dial to select the recording mode that suits the type of subject you are trying to record.

ªFlash CS

This mode will record consecutive images while firing the flash. See page 56 for details.

ÕNormal Speed CS/High Speed CS (Prerecord CS)

With Normal Speed CS, the number of consecutive images you can shoot is theoretically unlimited, as long as there is memory available to store them. Also note that the maximum shooting speed of Normal Speed CS is limited by the type of memory card you are using and the camera setup. See page 57 for details.

With High Speed CS, the camera continues to shoot images as long as you keep the shutter button depressed, and you can change the shooting speed while recording is in progress. You can record up to 30 images. In this mode, half-pressing the shutter button starts continual pre-recording of images to a temporary buffer. Then when you press the shutter button the rest of the way down, the camera saves the buffer contents and perform real-time continuous shutter recording of new images until you release the shutter button. See page 58 for details.

•Note that even if the mode dial is set to Õ (High Speed CS), High Speed CS image recording is not possible while “Normal Speed CS” is selected for the “CS” setting (pages 57, 58).

tSingle Shot

Continuous shutter recording is disabled when this mode is selected. Each press of the shutter button records a single image. See page 26 for details.
