OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

This section describes more advanced recording operations that are also provided by this camera.

Using Quick Shutter

Quick Shutter lets you record up to five images at intervals of approximately one second. Quick Shutter can be used to record normal, Night Scene Mode, Landscape Mode, or Portrait Mode images.

IMPORTANT!

•The operation lamp flashes while data is being written to the memory card. Never remove the memory card from the camera while this lamp is flashing.

•Quick shutter is disabled under any of the following conditions: while the flash is charging, while a slow shutter speed it being used, and when conditions cause Auto Focus to take a long time to finish.

•Even if Quick Shutter is enabled, the camera auto- matically uses the Single shutter mode whenever the battery level is “”.

•If you use the dial to try to change to another recording mode while the camera is saving buffer data to the memory card, the mode will not change to another re- cording mode until the data transfer and the save op- eration is complete.

1.Slide the Function Switch to REC.

2.Select “Functions 1” “Shutter Mode” “Quick”.

•“Functions 1” appears on the advanced menu only.

•Turning on “Quick” causes “ppppp” to appear un- der the quality indicator.

3.Press the shutter button.

•The p marks sequentially change to P marks as im- ages are recorded.

•Images you record using Quick Shutter are initially stored in a buffer, and then sequentially transferred to the memory card. Images continue to be recorded as long as you hold down the shutter button or until the buffer becomes full (five images). The buffer may be able to hold only four images when you are using the Night Scene Mode or a slow shutter speed.
