OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

IMPORTANT!

If AE Lock is already in effect, you can re-execute it by pressing [AE-L] once to release AE Lock, and then pressing [AE-L] again to perform a new AE Lock operation.

Continuous shutter recording is always performed with AE Lock.

AE Lock can be used before starting movie recording or while movie recording is in progress (page 124).

Proper Auto Focus may not be possible if you try to use AE Lock to record an image in which there is a very large variation in brightness.

You can also perform AE Lock by holding down [AE-L], instead of performing the procedure described above.

Using a Continuous Shutter Mode

You can configure the camera to record only a single snapshot each time the shutter button is pressed, or to keep recording as long as the shutter button remains depressed (continuous shutter). You can select from among three different continuous shutter modes.

Normal speed continuous shutter mode

This mode records images as long as you keep the shutter button depressed.

High speed continuous shutter mode

This mode records up to 5 consecutive images, at a speed of about three images per second, as long as you keep the shutter button depressed. This mode records faster than the normal speed continuous shutter mode.

Multi continuous shutter mode

Pressing the shutter button once records 25 consecutive stop-action shots at high speed and combines them into a single image.
