The release mode is normally set to Single-frame. Set the release mode to Continuous Shooting to
take sequential shots of moving subjects or to take a series of shots using Auto Exposure
Bracketing.

single clearly defined shot in each frame.

!
If you take a number of single-frame shots in rapid succession, the number of available shots is highlighted in the same
way as in continuous shooting. Once this happens, no further shots can be taken. Wait until the number of available shots
is no longer highlighted.
,SINGLE-FRAME
This mode allows you to take up to 12 consecutive shots by holding down the shutter button (Max.

hOnce you have shot the maximum number of continuous frames, the number of available shots
shown on the rear display panel is highlighted. No further continuous shots can be taken at that
point. Wait until the number of available shots is no longer highlighted.
The number of available frame and the maximum number of continuous frames varies depending
on the dynamic range (D-RANGE) and quality settings in SET-UP.

to cancel self-timer shooting.
hYou can change the self-timer running time from
10 seconds to 2, 5 or 20 seconds (➡P.112).

hThe self timer does not operate in situations where the camera shutter is disabled, such as when the
focus is not set in AF-S (Single-AF Servo) mode.
hIn exposure modes other than “M” (Manual), you must prevent any back-entry light from the eyepiece
to obtain the correct exposure. Before pressing the shutter button, cover the eyepiece with your hand
