Using the continuous shooting feature
You can use the continuous shooting feature to break
down a complex motion into photos containing a
series of easy-to-see steps. You can also use it to take
a number of consecutive pictures and then choose the
ones that you like best. When the image quality is set
to Standard, you can take almost two photos per
second, up to approximately 47 photos. When Fine is
selected, you can take almost one photo per second,
up to approximately 13 photos. When Super Fine is
selected, you can take one photo per second, up to
approximately seven photos.
Note:
❏When using the continuous shooting feature, you
cannot use the flash or select the HyPict or TIFF image
quality settings.
❏You cannot make an audio recording while using the
continuous shooting feature.
❏Settings made in other dial positions remain effective
when you use the continuous shooting feature. Before
using the continuous shooting feature, turn the dial
switch to the appropriate position and make your
settings.
Follow these steps to take pictures using the
continuous shooting feature.
1. Remove the lens cap, set the dial switch to , and
turn on the camera.
2. Press the MODE CHANGE button. A red frame
appears around the previewed image and
CONTINUOUS is displayed on the LCD monitor.
3. If necessary, adjust the image quality and activate
the self timer using the buttons on the top of the
camera. The self timer creates a ten second delay
between the time you press the shutter button and
the moment the actual image is captured.
4. Depress the shutter button halfway to lock the
focus, then depress it fully and hold it down to
begin taking a series of photos.
5. Release the shutter button to stop taking pictures.
Using the time lapse feature
You can use the time lapse feature to take pictures
automatically at a preset time interval. Use this feature
creatively to capture scenes that change over time,
such as sunsets, plant life, or a busy street corner. The
time interval can be set from five seconds to 24 hours.
